In the sky

Too faint for the naked eye (magnitude 8.44); binoculars will find it. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 8° S. North of latitude 8° N it never sets.

Through a telescope from Earth

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1879. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 2.6 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around GJ 9035, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 8.09, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Chamaeleon. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
