NGC 7289

NGC 7289 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Piscis Austrinus about 394 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 190,000 ly, about 1.9 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 8,459 km/s.

Because its light is 394 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7289 as it looked roughly 394 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.
