NGC 1452

NGC 1452 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 86 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 60,000 ly, about 60% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,874 km/s.

Because its light is 86 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1452 as it looked roughly 86 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.
