NGC 4607
NGC 4607 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo about 106 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 88,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 2,284 km/s.

Because its light is 106 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4607 as it looked roughly 106 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.
