NGC 2536

NGC 2536 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cancer about 192 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 41,000 ly, about 41% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,142 km/s.

Because its light is 192 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2536 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.
