NGC 3847

NGC 3847 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 444 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 200,000 ly, about 2.0 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 9,542 km/s.

Because its light is 444 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3847 as it looked roughly 444 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.
