Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Impossible with our current technology — and the next millennium of it.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 55.7 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 5 million years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 31.7 thousand years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 3171 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. Its light left before the last ice age ended.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 6342 years round-trip.
Standing on it

By the numbers
- Size. About 2.4× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 13.7 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. About 6.3× the mass of Earth.
