NGC 61A
NGC 61A is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus about 376 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 160,000 ly, about 1.6 times the width of our Milky Way. The light reaching us tonight left it about 376 million years ago.

Because its light is 376 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 61A as it looked roughly 376 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.
