NGC 3354

NGC 3354 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Antlia about 140 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 42,000 ly, about 42% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 2,812 km/s.

Because its light is 140 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 3354 as it looked roughly 140 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.
