NGC 7590

NGC 7590 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Grus about 75 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 66,000 ly, about 66% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,465 km/s.

Because its light is 75 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7590 as it looked roughly 75 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.
