NGC 3630

NGC 3630 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Leo about 69 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 39,000 ly, about 39% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,509 km/s.

Because its light is 69 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3630 as it looked roughly 69 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.
