Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 494. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 27 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around HIP 95154, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 13.19, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Mensa. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
