NGC 5673

NGC 5673 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Boötes about 97 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 66,000 ly, about 66% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,166 km/s.

Because its light is 97 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 5673 as it looked roughly 97 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.
