NGC 7207

NGC 7207 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 416 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 80,000 ly, about 80% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 416 million years ago.

Because its light is 416 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7207 as it looked roughly 416 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.
