In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.15. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 7° S. North of latitude 7° N it never sets.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1027. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 18 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around TOI-4087, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 12.26, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Octans. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
