NGC 2706

NGC 2706 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 77 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 37,000 ly, about 37% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 77 million years ago.

Because its light is 77 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2706 as it looked roughly 77 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.
