NGC 7544

NGC 7544 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 329 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 72,000 ly, about 72% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 329 million years ago.

Because its light is 329 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7544 as it looked roughly 329 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.
