In the sky

Too faint for the naked eye (magnitude 8.04); binoculars will find it. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 71° S. North of latitude 71° N 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 the year 1789. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 4.2 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HD 219828, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 9.13, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Crater. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
