NGC 2693

NGC 2693 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 229 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 130,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,886 km/s.

Because its light is 229 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2693 as it looked roughly 229 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.
