NGC 7677

NGC 7677 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 166 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 55,000 ly, about 55% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,611 km/s.

Because its light is 166 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7677 as it looked roughly 166 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.
