NGC 16
NGC 16 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 143 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 72,000 ly, about 72% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,056 km/s.

Because its light is 143 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 16 as it looked roughly 143 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.
