Huh... with JavaScript off, I get the answer "Distance from Sun: 92.96 million " (presumably miles) on the right hand side. With JavaScript on, I get the wrong answer from the title. Edit: Actually, it gets the same answer on the right side with JS enabled; didn't notice that earlier. So just the instant answer is missing in the JS-disabled case. Also, here's a screenshot for posterity (with JS enabled): https://i.im…

#24Google seems to think that Earth is Gliese 412 Gliese 412 is a pair of stars that share a common proper motion through space and are thought to form a binary star system. The pair have an angular separation of 31.4″ at a position angle of 126.1°.[12] They are located 15.8 light years distant from the Sun in the constellation Ursa Major. Both components are relatively dim red dwarf stars. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…
It's still cloudy here in Austria, I'll count the number of suns later when the clouds are gone.
