      Google must be talking about a different Earth and a different Sun. Our Earth and Sun are separated by 500 light seconds. Nice catch, @NickLilja.pic.twitter.com/FjkwbhLM3F

          Nope. Google pulls out the data from the 1st in the list of websites sorted using an algorithm based on user's web history. I checked it few days back and it gave the right one (pulled out from http://space.com ).
