NGC 3835A

NGC 3835A is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 166 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 53,000 ly, about 53% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 166 million years ago.

Because its light is 166 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3835A as it looked roughly 166 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.
