IC 3015

IC 3015 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 95 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 20,000 ly, about 20% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,028 km/s.

Because its light is 95 million ly from home, you are seeing IC 3015 as it looked roughly 95 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.
