NGC 1395

NGC 1395 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 79 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 1,699 km/s.

Because its light is 79 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1395 as it looked roughly 79 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.
