Habitable zone

Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 21.7 times the light the Earth does, too hot to keep liquid water on its surface.

Its star in the sky

In the planet's sky its star is a disc 1.9° across: 3.6 times the Sun as we see it from Earth.

In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 11.47. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 53° N. South of latitude 53° 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 1373. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 12 million years.
