Habitable zone
Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 576 times the light the Earth does, too hot to keep liquid water on its surface.
In the sky
Too faint for the naked eye (magnitude 8.94); binoculars will find it. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 57° N. South of latitude 57° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in January, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1854. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 3.0 million years.
