NGC 1385

NGC 1385 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 70 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 69,000 ly, about 69% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,979 km/s.

Because its light is 70 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1385 as it looked roughly 70 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.
