NGC 992

NGC 992 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Aries about 192 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 44,000 ly, about 44% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,095 km/s.

Because its light is 192 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 992 as it looked roughly 192 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.
