NGC 4005

NGC 4005 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Leo about 207 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 68,000 ly, about 68% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,425 km/s.

Because its light is 207 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4005 as it looked roughly 207 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.
