NGC 5379

NGC 5379 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major about 82 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 49,000 ly, about 49% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,756 km/s.

Because its light is 82 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5379 as it looked roughly 82 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.
