NGC 7463

NGC 7463 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 121 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 56,000 ly, about 56% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,322 km/s.

Because its light is 121 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7463 as it looked roughly 121 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.
