In the sky

A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 22.87. Visible from the whole Northern Hemisphere and south to latitude 76° S. North of latitude 76° N it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in September, the best time to observe it.

Light's journey

The light you see tonight set out around the year 1654. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 6.6 million years.

The Sun seen from there

From a planet around ULAS J233002.13+140329.9, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 10.11, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Crater. It would be invisible to the naked eye.
