In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 14.39. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 69° N. South of latitude 69° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in September, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around 405 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 43 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HATS-32, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 14.19, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Leo. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
