NGC 7216

NGC 7216 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Indus about 162 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 76,000 ly, about 76% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,468 km/s.

Because its light is 162 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7216 as it looked roughly 162 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.
