NGC 7458

NGC 7458 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 232 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 70,000 ly, about 70% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,976 km/s.

Because its light is 232 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7458 as it looked roughly 232 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.
