In the sky

Visible to the naked eye under a dark sky (apparent magnitude 6.46). Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 1° S. North of latitude 1° N it never sets.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1694. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 5.9 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HIP 7283, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 9.87, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Octans. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
