In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 13.70. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 30° S. North of latitude 30° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in May, the best time to observe it.

Through a telescope from Earth

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1602. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 7.5 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around TIC 198190129, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.40, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Reticulum. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
