NGC 695

NGC 695 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Aries about 453 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 63,000 ly, about 63% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 9,748 km/s.

Because its light is 453 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 695 as it looked roughly 453 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.
