NGC 140

NGC 140 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda about 300 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 76,000 ly, about 76% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 6,455 km/s.

Because its light is 300 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 140 as it looked roughly 300 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.
