In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 13.20. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 36° S. North of latitude 36° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in June, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1045. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 17 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around TIC 188624430, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 12.22, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Pictor. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
