21. Hmmmm... why couldn't you communicate?
If you painted a billboard on the sun they'd be able to see it, and that is really no different from any other electromagnetic signal.

Granted, there are speeds and distances where they'd be to Saturn already before a signal could overtake them, but assuming the time&distance are okay I don't know they couldn't get a signal.
