NGC 2929

NGC 2929 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo about 351 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 7,549 km/s.

Because its light is 351 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2929 as it looked roughly 351 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.
