  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 919.3 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 5887 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 589 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1437.

Saying hello
