In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 11.40. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 85° S. It stands highest at midnight in July, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 881. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 20 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HAT-P-41, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 12.56, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Monoceros. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
