NGC 4134

NGC 4134 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 172 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 92,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 3,840 km/s.

Because its light is 172 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4134 as it looked roughly 172 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.
