NGC 1741B

NGC 1741B is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 196 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 53,000 ly, about 53% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 196 million years ago.

Because its light is 196 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1741B as it looked roughly 196 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.
