NGC 1065

NGC 1065 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 345 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 82,000 ly, about 82% of our Milky Way's width. The light reaching us tonight left it about 345 million years ago.

Because its light is 345 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1065 as it looked roughly 345 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.
