NGC 1339

NGC 1339 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 64 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 37,000 ly, about 37% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,354 km/s.

Because its light is 64 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1339 as it looked roughly 64 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.
