Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 34.1 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 3 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 19.4 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 1943 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 83.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 3886 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 8.7 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 1.9× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 7.1 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. About 4.3× the mass of Earth.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.2× your Earth weight standing here.
- Temperature. A scorching 370°C on average.
How we found it
