In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.92. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 28° N. South of latitude 28° S it never sets. 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 414. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 29 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around HATS-24, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 13.30, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Camelopardalis. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
