NGC 4221

NGC 4221 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Draco about 61 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 33,000 ly, about 33% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,842 km/s.

Because its light is 61 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4221 as it looked roughly 61 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.
