NGC 5660

NGC 5660 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Boötes about 108 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 83,000 ly, about 83% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,319 km/s.

Because its light is 108 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5660 as it looked roughly 108 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.
