You won’t need sunscreen if you go at night.

The researchers found that the waves occur deep below the surface of the sun, about 12,400 miles (20,000 km) in its interior.
Wait, if the radius of the sun is 432,450 miles
making the diameter 864,900 miles, can 12,400 miles
be said to be “deep below the surface of the sun???

(The average radius of the sun is a whopping 432,450 miles, or 696,000 kilometers.)
Excess precision from a conversion from metric to English units. Really, the metric original shows excessive precision as well, given that the edge is undefined - but ya gotta work with something.
