Trivia

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. A multi-generation starship could one day attempt the crossing.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 187.8 thousand years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 16.7 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 107 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 10.7 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 2015.

Saying hello

  • Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 21.4 years round-trip.

How we found it

  • Named. Notable enough to have earned a proper name, not just a catalogue number.
