NGC 7735

NGC 7735 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 447 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 180,000 ly, about 1.8 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 447 million years ago.

Because its light is 447 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7735 as it looked roughly 447 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.
