In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 9.40. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 82° N. It stands highest at midnight in June, the best time to observe it.
Through a telescope from Earth
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1448. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 10 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around Gl 700.1C, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 11.07, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Orion. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
