NGC 526B

NGC 526B is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Sculptor about 263 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 60,000 ly, about 60% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 263 million years ago.

Because its light is 263 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 526B as it looked roughly 263 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.
