NGC 3713

NGC 3713 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Leo about 324 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,989 km/s.

Because its light is 324 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3713 as it looked roughly 324 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.
