NGC 1482

NGC 1482 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Eridanus about 88 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 63,000 ly, about 63% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 1,765 km/s.

Because its light is 88 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1482 as it looked roughly 88 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.
