NGC 7665

NGC 7665 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Aquarius about 224 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 50,000 ly, about 50% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 224 million years ago.

Because its light is 224 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7665 as it looked roughly 224 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.
