In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.98. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 52° S. North of latitude 52° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in February, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1993. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 582 thousand years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around GJ 1134, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 4.84, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Grus. It would be visible to the naked eye.
