Habitable zone

Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 341 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 Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 82° N. It stands highest at midnight in September, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1183. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 15 million years.
