NGC 7601
NGC 7601 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 374 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 110,000 ly, about the width of our Milky Way. It is receding from us at about 8,205 km/s.

Because its light is 374 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7601 as it looked roughly 374 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.
