NGC 1343

NGC 1343 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia about 103 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 2,180 km/s.

Because its light is 103 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1343 as it looked roughly 103 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.
