NGC 6195

NGC 6195 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Hercules about 419 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 180,000 ly, about 1.8 times the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 9,000 km/s.

Because its light is 419 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6195 as it looked roughly 419 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.
