      What? Not it’s not. Where did you get this number?

      It’s more like 6.7 AU. Source

      In other words somewhere between Jupiter and Saturn in terms of distance to the sun.

        You’re right. Major fuckup on my part, I guess. I was using Google search’s calculator function. I tried to reverse-engineer my mistake and couldn’t find anything sensible I would have entered to get 541 AU.

      Thank you, this is the only measurement that makes any sense in any distance past like the moon before you get into longer units like parsecs or light years. Even though an AU is still only 150M km, it makes the math a lot easier for me to grok.
