NGC 1784

NGC 1784 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Lepus about 109 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 130,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 2,255 km/s.

Because its light is 109 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 1784 as it looked roughly 109 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.
