NGC 3395

NGC 3395 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo Minor about 76 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 35,000 ly, about 35% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,634 km/s.

Because its light is 76 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3395 as it looked roughly 76 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.
