NGC 5320

NGC 5320 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici about 123 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 65,000 ly, about 65% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,646 km/s.

Because its light is 123 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5320 as it looked roughly 123 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.
