Habitable zone
Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 1,440 times the light the Earth does, too hot to keep liquid water on its surface.
Its star in the sky
In the planet's sky its star is a disc 15° across: 27 times the Sun as we see it from Earth.
In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 9.65. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 14° N. South of latitude 14° S it never sets.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1384. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 11 million years.
