NGC 2686B

NGC 2686B is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 321 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 45,000 ly, about 45% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 321 million years ago.

Because its light is 321 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2686B as it looked roughly 321 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.
