NGC 1068

NGC 1068 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 53 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 95,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 1,093 km/s.

Because its light is 53 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1068 as it looked roughly 53 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.
