NGC 7190

NGC 7190 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 414 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 120,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 414 million years ago.

Because its light is 414 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7190 as it looked roughly 414 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.
