NGC 643B

NGC 643B is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydrus about 188 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 96,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 3,966 km/s.

Because its light is 188 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 643B as it looked roughly 188 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.
