NGC 6110

NGC 6110 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Corona Borealis about 426 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 86,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 426 million years ago.

Because its light is 426 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6110 as it looked roughly 426 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.
