Habitable zone
Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 702 times the light the Earth does, too hot to keep liquid water on its surface.
In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 13.89. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 85° N. 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 808. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 22 million years.
