NGC 193
NGC 193 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 199 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 120,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,327 km/s.

Because its light is 199 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 193 as it looked roughly 199 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.
