 Also, given the star's inherent low brightness, even at that distance it would be barely visible to the naked eye of a hypothetical human being, with an apparent magnitude of only 5.72.While the Voyager probe moves through space towards a 1.6-light-year minimum distance from Gliese 445, the star is rapidly approaching our Sun.At the time the probe passes Gliese 445, the star will be about 1.059 parsecs (3.45 light-years) from our Sun, but with less than half the brightness necessary to be seen with the naked eye.
