NGC 2686A

NGC 2686A is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 728 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 190,000 ly, about 1.9 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 728 million years ago.

Because its light is 728 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2686A as it looked roughly 728 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.
