NGC 1125

NGC 1125 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 154 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 68,000 ly, about 68% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 154 million years ago.

Because its light is 154 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1125 as it looked roughly 154 million years ago. The photons left before that much of history had passed, and are only now reaching us. This distance is estimated from the galaxy's redshift, so the lookback time is approximate.
