NGC 2592

NGC 2592 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cancer about 93 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 40,000 ly, about 40% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,989 km/s.

Because its light is 93 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2592 as it looked roughly 93 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.
