NGC 3757

NGC 3757 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 59 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 20,000 ly, about 20% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,267 km/s.

Because its light is 59 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3757 as it looked roughly 59 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.
