NGC 7750

NGC 7750

NGC 7750 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 136 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 59,000 ly, about 59% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,913 km/s.

Because its light is 136 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7750 as it looked roughly 136 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.
