61 Cygni is located 11.4 light years from the Earth. It moves at a total speed of 106 kilometers per second, and its motion across the sky is about 5.22 arc seconds per year. In 12 years it travels the diameter of the Full Moon! Even at this pace, it takes 10 years for it to travel a mere 26 billion kilometers which is barely 6 times the distance to Pluto. It will be a long time before it catches up with the Sun!
