NGC 3561
the Guitar is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 402 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 200,000 ly, about 2.0 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 402 million years ago.

Because its light is 402 million ly from home, you are seeing the Guitar as it looked roughly 402 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.
