NGC 7584

NGC 7584 is a galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 602 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 150,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 12,910 km/s.

Because its light is 602 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7584 as it looked roughly 602 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.
