NGC 3281B

NGC 3281B is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Antlia about 113 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 43,000 ly, about 43% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 113 million years ago.

Because its light is 113 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3281B as it looked roughly 113 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.
