NGC 7612
NGC 7612 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 150 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 71,000 ly, about 71% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,210 km/s.

Because its light is 150 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7612 as it looked roughly 150 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.
