NGC 7567

NGC 7567

NGC 7567 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 201 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 53,000 ly, about 53% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 201 million years ago.

Because its light is 201 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7567 as it looked roughly 201 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.
