NGC 4121

NGC 4121 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Draco about 102 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 15,000 ly, about 15% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,197 km/s.

Because its light is 102 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4121 as it looked roughly 102 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.
