NGC 3795

NGC 3795 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 55 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 33,000 ly, about 33% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,091 km/s.

Because its light is 55 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3795 as it looked roughly 55 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.
