NGC 1530

NGC 1530 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis about 115 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 61,000 ly, about 61% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,506 km/s.

Because its light is 115 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1530 as it looked roughly 115 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.
