Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around 12 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 36 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around EPIC 220492298, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 13.81, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Virgo. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
