NGC 7682

NGC 7682 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces about 239 million ly from Earth. It spans roughly 80,000 ly, about 80% of our Milky Way's width. It is receding from us at about 5,147 km/s.

Because its light is 239 million ly from home, you are seeing NGC 7682 as it looked roughly 239 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.
