NGC 3485

NGC 3485 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo about 67 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 42,000 ly, about 42% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,483 km/s.

Because its light is 67 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3485 as it looked roughly 67 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.
