In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 23.76. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 65° S. North of latitude 65° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in November, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1586. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 7.8 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around PLIZ 35, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.48, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Scorpius. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
