In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 18.40. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 10° S. North of latitude 10° N it never sets.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1950. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 1.3 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around GJ 3351, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 6.66, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Apus. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
