In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 9.73. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 72° N. South of latitude 72° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in November, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1727. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 5.3 million years.
