In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 14.41. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 22° S. North of latitude 22° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in March, the best time to observe it.

Through a telescope from Earth

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1594. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 7.7 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around TIC 153919886, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.44, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Indus. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
