NGC 1334

NGC 1334 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Perseus about 196 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 71,000 ly, about 71% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 4,233 km/s.

Because its light is 196 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1334 as it looked roughly 196 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.
