NGC 4565B

NGC 4565B is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 299 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 70,000 ly, about 70% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 299 million years ago.

Because its light is 299 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4565B as it looked roughly 299 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.
