Habitable zone
Inside the inner edge of the habitable zone: it receives 1,230 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 12.93. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 32° N. South of latitude 32° 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 67 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 37 million years.
