NGC 3020

NGC 3020 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo about 73 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 50,000 ly, about 50% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,450 km/s.

Because its light is 73 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3020 as it looked roughly 73 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.
