NGC 6120

NGC 6120 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Corona Borealis about 428 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 60,000 ly, about 60% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 9,170 km/s.

Because its light is 428 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6120 as it looked roughly 428 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.
