Hubble Caldwell 35

While looking at this image, you have unwittingly become an intergalactic time traveler! Caldwell 35, also known as NGC 4889, is a galaxy that is truly far, far away — roughly 300 million light-years, or about 1,750,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. That means the light from Caldwell 35 that reaches Earth today is 300 million years old. By observing Caldwell 35, the most distant object in the Caldwell catalog, we have the opportunity to peer back in time and see its corner of the cosmos as it was long ago.
