NGC 2716

NGC 2716 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydra about 168 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 80,000 ly, about 80% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,537 km/s.

Because its light is 168 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2716 as it looked roughly 168 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.
