NGC 7600
NGC 7600 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Aquarius about 161 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 98,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 3,504 km/s.

Because its light is 161 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7600 as it looked roughly 161 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.
