In the sky

Visible to the naked eye under a dark sky (apparent magnitude 5.93). 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 June, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1683. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 6.1 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HIP 91347, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 9.94, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Gemini. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
