CVSO 30c is way further out, at a distance of 98,730,000,000,000 kilometres (61,347,977,809,592 miles) or 660 AU - a unit that's equivalent to the distance between Earth and the Sun. ??? Something not quite right here, or perhaps because it's 3am here, but am I reading this correctly?
61.3 TRILLION miles is the same distance as between the Earth and Sun ???

660 units x 93,000,000 miles?
To: Mr_Moonlight
No. An AU (astronomical unit) is the earth-sun distance. This is 660 of those units.

:^) Either way, a lotta miles.

They added three orders of magnitude (and several decimal places of precision) doing unit conversions.
