The star is currently at a distance of 7.3 astronomical units (each astronomical unit refers to the distance between the Earth and the Sun), which is more than the distance to Jupiter, but on a path that directs it towards the Sun, so its brightness will constantly increase.

Expected that Cuchinshan-ATLAS will be visible to the naked eye in September 2024 as it approaches the perihelion of its orbit, according to an astronomical observatory.
