NGC 3314B

NGC 3314B is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 219 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 41,000 ly, about 41% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 219 million years ago.

Because its light is 219 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3314B as it looked roughly 219 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.
