In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.38. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 23° N. South of latitude 23° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in December, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around 490 BC. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 45 million years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around TOI-2184, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 14.27, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Draco. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
