NGC 7152

NGC 7152 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Piscis Austrinus about 305 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,564 km/s.

Because its light is 305 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7152 as it looked roughly 305 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.
