NGC 1316C

NGC 1316C is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 81 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 35,000 ly, about 35% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,975 km/s.

Because its light is 81 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1316C as it looked roughly 81 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.
