       The sun is visible to the naked eye up to ~60 light-years away from earth. For comparison: Deneb, the brightest star in the constellation Cygnus, is 2,600 light-years away from us. The farthest star that is just visible to the naked eye is 16,308 light-years away.(Image source: Torsten Bronger)
