NGC 7341

NGC 7341 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Aquarius about 205 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 140,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,370 km/s.

Because its light is 205 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7341 as it looked roughly 205 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.
