In the sky

Visible to the naked eye under a dark sky (apparent magnitude 6.39). Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 12° N. South of latitude 12° S it never sets.

Through a telescope from Earth

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1884. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 2.5 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HIP 92233, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 8.02, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Camelopardalis. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
