NGC 6027B

NGC 6027B is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Serpens about 195 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 51,000 ly, about 51% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,017 km/s.

Because its light is 195 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6027B as it looked roughly 195 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.
