NGC 4378

NGC 4378 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 119 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 73,000 ly, about 73% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,563 km/s.

Because its light is 119 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4378 as it looked roughly 119 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.
