NGC 7033

NGC 7033 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 423 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 9,056 km/s.

Because its light is 423 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7033 as it looked roughly 423 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.
