NGC 4128

NGC 4128 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Draco about 109 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 70,000 ly, about 70% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,326 km/s.

Because its light is 109 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4128 as it looked roughly 109 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.
