NGC 7372

NGC 7372 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 545 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 160,000 ly, about 1.6 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 11,614 km/s.

Because its light is 545 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7372 as it looked roughly 545 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.
