9.65 million years ago. The light from this galaxy, NGC2403, travelled for almost 10 million years. At that time, the Earth was with the continents already formed as we know them today and was populated by apes, chimpanzees and gorillas (the ancestors of the first humans who would appear only about 7-8 million years later).
This galaxy is located in the constellation of the Giraffe and is an intermediate spiral galaxy, i.e. a gigantic cosmic pinwheel, with a diameter of about 80,000 light years (our own Milky Way has a diameter of about 105,000 light years). The presence of a large number of nebulae (mostly reddish in colour) contributes greatly to the processes that lead to the birth of new stars, and it is in fact a galaxy very rich in young, hot stars.
At the bottom right of the photo you can find a tiny white galaxy called UGC3898 300 million light years away from us that is receding at a speed of 6800 km/s and is the 'deepest' galaxy in time and space that I have ever photographed. Who knows what goes on inside that galaxy and how many worlds yet to be discovered?

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
