NGC 1187

NGC 1187 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 65 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 79,000 ly, about 79% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,546 km/s.

Because its light is 65 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1187 as it looked roughly 65 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.
