NGC 7389

NGC 7389

NGC 7389 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 368 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 7,916 km/s.

Because its light is 368 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7389 as it looked roughly 368 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.
