NGC 3327
NGC 3327 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Leo Minor about 294 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 6,288 km/s.

Because its light is 294 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3327 as it looked roughly 294 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.
