In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 18.73. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 64° N. South of latitude 64° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in June, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around 1171 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 57 million years.
