NGC 1412

NGC 1412 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Fornax about 80 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 25,000 ly, about 25% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,790 km/s.

Because its light is 80 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1412 as it looked roughly 80 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.
