NGC 2719
NGC 2719 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Lynx about 147 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 50,000 ly, about 50% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,197 km/s.

Because its light is 147 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 2719 as it looked roughly 147 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.
