NGC 7634
NGC 7634 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pegasus about 149 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 52,000 ly, about 52% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 3,225 km/s.

Because its light is 149 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7634 as it looked roughly 149 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.
