In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 14.64. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 49° N. South of latitude 49° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in September, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around 1917 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 70 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around TIC 183374187, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 15.24, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Ursa Major. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
