In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 12.24. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 62° N. South of latitude 62° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in April, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1048. 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 TOI-4914, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 12.21, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Pisces. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
