NGC 3447A
NGC 3447A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo about 50 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 49,000 ly, about 49% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,014 km/s.

Because its light is 50 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3447A as it looked roughly 50 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.
