In the sky

Visible to the naked eye under a dark sky (apparent magnitude 5.39). Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 79° S. North of latitude 79° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in November, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1881. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 2.6 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HIP 22044, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 8.07, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Ophiuchus. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
