NGC 127

NGC 127 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 189 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 51,000 ly, about 51% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,050 km/s.

Because its light is 189 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 127 as it looked roughly 189 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.
