How far, from the Sun

119 light-years. To cross it:

• Light119 years
• Voyager 1's speed2.12 million years
• Driving at 100 km/h1.29 billion years

Voyager 1 at the speed it moved outward over the year to 2026-10-25 (JPL Horizons). Driving: nonstop, never refuelling.

Facts

• The star is about 11 billion years old, more than twice the Sun's age.
• Its distance comes from a Gaia parallax: the tiny yearly shift in its position as the Earth circles the Sun.

Where this comes from

• Gaia DR3 parallax 27.3578 ± 0.0125 mas, Gaia DR3 2101486923385239808 (Gaia Collaboration 2023, A&A 674, A1)
