Habitable zone
Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 620 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 12.58. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 29° S. North of latitude 29° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in July, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 278. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 31 million years.
