NGC 7529

NGC 7529

NGC 7529 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 212 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 49,000 ly, about 49% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,569 km/s.

Because its light is 212 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7529 as it looked roughly 212 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.
