NGC 118

NGC 118 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 521 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 120,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 11,250 km/s.

Because its light is 521 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 118 as it looked roughly 521 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.
