NGC 4967
NGC 4967 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 413 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 140,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 413 million years ago.

Because its light is 413 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4967 as it looked roughly 413 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.
