NGC 890

NGC 890 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Triangulum about 193 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 62,000 ly, about 62% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,006 km/s.

Because its light is 193 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 890 as it looked roughly 193 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.
