NGC 4480

NGC 4480 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 113 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 62,000 ly, about 62% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,368 km/s.

Because its light is 113 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4480 as it looked roughly 113 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.
