In the sky
A telescope is needed to see it: its apparent magnitude is 27.55. Visible from the whole Southern Hemisphere and north to latitude 18° N. South of latitude 18° S it never sets. It stands highest at midnight in January, 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 788 thousand years.
The Sun seen from there
From a planet around WISE J073444.02-715744.0, 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.
