NGC 7418A

NGC 7418A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Grus about 98 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 50,000 ly, about 50% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,050 km/s.

Because its light is 98 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7418A as it looked roughly 98 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.
