NGC 4622
NGC 4622 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Centaurus about 192 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 100,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 4,367 km/s.

Because its light is 192 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4622 as it looked roughly 192 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.
