Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1990. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 631 thousand years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around SDSS J075840.33+324723.4, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 5.02, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Sagittarius. It would be visible to the naked eye.
