Trivia

What it actually is

  • What it is made of. Lighter than Neptune — a puffed-up ball of hydrogen and helium with no surface anywhere on it to stand on.

Sense of scale

  • In perspective. Far away by human standards, yet still a local address inside the Milky Way's spiral arms.

Find it in the sky

  • Southern sky. It rides the southern half of the sky — an easier target the further south you are.
  • Best time of year. It stands highest in the middle of the night around June — that's when to go looking.

Could we get there?

  • Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.

Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 338.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 30 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 192.4 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
