Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1507. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 9.2 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around EPIC 201238110, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.84, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Pisces. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
