In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 11.94. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 80° N. South of latitude 80° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in March, the best time to observe it.
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1815. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 3.7 million years.
