NGC 7528

NGC 7528 is a galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 408 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 77,000 ly, about 77% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 408 million years ago.

Because its light is 408 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7528 as it looked roughly 408 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.
