Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around 652 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 47 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around NSVS 14256825, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 14.40, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Hydra. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
