NGC 4496B

NGC 4496B is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 211 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 64,000 ly, about 64% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,521 km/s.

Because its light is 211 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4496B as it looked roughly 211 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.
