Getting there

  • Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 8.9 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
  • Fastest probe ever. ≈ 789.2 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
  • At 10% light speed. ≈ 5054 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
  • Distance. 505 light-years from Earth.

Look-back time

  • Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1521.

Saying hello
