NGC 4562

NGC 4562 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 63 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 35,000 ly, about 35% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,363 km/s.

Because its light is 63 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4562 as it looked roughly 63 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.
