NGC 7562A

NGC 7562A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 163 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 63,000 ly, about 63% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 163 million years ago.

Because its light is 163 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7562A as it looked roughly 163 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.
