NGC 570
NGC 570 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 258 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 120,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 5,493 km/s.

Because its light is 258 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 570 as it looked roughly 258 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.
