NGC 710

NGC 710 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda about 285 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 86,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,110 km/s.

Because its light is 285 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 710 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.
