In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 23.51. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 81° S. It stands highest at midnight in March, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1563. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 8.2 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around ULAS J114418.08+091025.1, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.59, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Aquarius. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
