Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1001. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 18 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around EPIC 206317286, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 12.32, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Leo. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
