NGC 6861C

NGC 6861C is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Telescopium about 122 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 39,000 ly, about 39% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 122 million years ago.

Because its light is 122 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 6861C as it looked roughly 122 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.
