NGC 6570

NGC 6570 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ophiuchus about 106 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 49,000 ly, about 49% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,095 km/s.

Because its light is 106 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6570 as it looked roughly 106 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.
