Trivia

Could we get there?

Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.

Getting there

Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 2.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
Fastest probe ever. ≈ 242.2 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
At 10% light speed. ≈ 1551 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
Distance. 155 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1871.

Saying hello

Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 310 years round-trip.

That score comes from 2 science badges — Star and Naked-eye visible — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
