NGC 334

NGC 334 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor about 429 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 130,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 9,204 km/s.

Because its light is 429 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 334 as it looked roughly 429 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.
