Habitable zone
Inside its star's habitable zone: it receives enough light for liquid water to exist on its surface under a suitable atmosphere.
Its star in the sky
In the planet's sky its star is a disc 0.44° across: 0.83 times the Sun as we see it from Earth.
In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 10.30. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 6° S. North of latitude 6° N it never sets.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1663. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 6.4 million years.
