NGC 4775

NGC 4775 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 73 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 47,000 ly, about 47% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,651 km/s.

Because its light is 73 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4775 as it looked roughly 73 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.
