NGC 4760

NGC 4760 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 218 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 160,000 ly, about 1.6 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,638 km/s.

Because its light is 218 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4760 as it looked roughly 218 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.
