NGC 4385
NGC 4385 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 100 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 63,000 ly, about 63% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,271 km/s.

Because its light is 100 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4385 as it looked roughly 100 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.
