NGC 3883
NGC 3883 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo about 328 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 170,000 ly, about 1.7 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 7,103 km/s.

Because its light is 328 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3883 as it looked roughly 328 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.
