NGC 191A

NGC 191A is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 285 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 72,000 ly, about 72% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 285 million years ago.

Because its light is 285 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 191A as it looked roughly 285 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.
