NGC 5216

NGC 5216 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 136 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 67,000 ly, about 67% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,949 km/s.

Because its light is 136 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5216 as it looked roughly 136 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.
