In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 10.48. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 80° N. South of latitude 80° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in March, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1894. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 2.3 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around GJ 3645, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 7.87, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Pegasus. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
