NGC 1484

NGC 1484 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 52 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 41,000 ly, about 41% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,022 km/s.

Because its light is 52 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1484 as it looked roughly 52 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.
