NGC 4027A
NGC 4027A is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Corvus about 81 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 26,000 ly, about 26% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,747 km/s.

Because its light is 81 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4027A as it looked roughly 81 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.
