NGC 5116

NGC 5116 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 134 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 76,000 ly, about 76% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,839 km/s.

Because its light is 134 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5116 as it looked roughly 134 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.
