NGC 3812

NGC 3812 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Leo about 165 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 82,000 ly, about 82% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,632 km/s.

Because its light is 165 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3812 as it looked roughly 165 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.
