Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1991. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 616 thousand years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around DENIS-P J1454078-660447, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 4.97, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Cassiopeia. It would be visible to the naked eye.
