NGC 4676A
NGC 4676A is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 305 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 190,000 ly, about 1.9 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,649 km/s.

Because its light is 305 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4676A as it looked roughly 305 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.
