In the sky

Visible to the naked eye under a dark sky (apparent magnitude 6.11). Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 89° S. It stands highest at midnight in September, the best time to observe it.

Through a telescope from Earth

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1666. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 6.4 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around 1 Psc, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.04, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Leo. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
