NGC 2310

NGC 2310 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Puppis about 47 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 62,000 ly, about 62% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,187 km/s.

Because its light is 47 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2310 as it looked roughly 47 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.
