NGC 5004A

NGC 5004A is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 339 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 120,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 7,225 km/s.

Because its light is 339 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5004A as it looked roughly 339 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.
