In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 29.03. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 36° N. South of latitude 36° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in November, the best time to observe it.
Through a telescope from Earth
Light's journey
The light you see tonight set out around the year 1982. At the speed of Voyager 1, the fastest craft leaving the Solar System (16.9 km per second), the trip would take 787 thousand years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around WISE J035934.06-540154.6, the Sun would look like a star of magnitude 5.50, in the direction where our sky has the constellation Draco. It would be visible to the naked eye.
