In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 25.47. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 41° S. North of latitude 41° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in November, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1915. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 2.0 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around UGCS J030013.86+490142.5, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 7.49, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Lupus. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
