NGC 4063

NGC 4063 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 229 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 61,000 ly, about 61% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,978 km/s.

Because its light is 229 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4063 as it looked roughly 229 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.
