In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 11.22. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 72° S. North of latitude 72° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in February, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1452. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 10 million years.
