NGC 1069

NGC 1069 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 441 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 170,000 ly, about 1.7 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 441 million years ago.

Because its light is 441 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1069 as it looked roughly 441 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.
