NGC 1382

NGC 1382 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 85 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 49,000 ly, about 49% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,802 km/s.

Because its light is 85 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1382 as it looked roughly 85 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.
