NGC 935

NGC 935

NGC 935 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries about 194 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 89,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,212 km/s.

Because its light is 194 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 935 as it looked roughly 194 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.
