NGC 4807
NGC 4807 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices about 325 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 83,000 ly, about 83% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 6,928 km/s.

Because its light is 325 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 4807 as it looked roughly 325 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.
