Google 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.

- TomK32 9y agoIt's still cloudy here in Austria, I'll count the number of suns later when the clouds are gone.
- austrianguy 9y agoNot so cloudy in Burgenland, I only see one. But I don't have a telescope with a sun filter to scientifically prove it.
- chris-at 9y agoIsn't the earth flat in burgenland?
- phillc73 9y agoNo, it's an ellipse with infinite radius.
- majewsky 9y agoI got confused at your mention of "Burgenland" together with your nick, which led me to find out that "Burgenland" and "Burgenlandkreis" (Burgenland county) are two different counties in two different countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgenlandkreis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgenlandkreis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgenland
- austrianguy 9y agoWell that's new to me too. Thanks for the links!
- onion2k 9y agoI in the UK and I can't believe people still fall for the "sun" hoax. I don't know anyone who's ever seen it.
- bobsil1 9y agoLived in Seattle. We had a nice day of summer once.
- jsolson 9y agoWait, what about the whole sum... ohhhhh, right, clouds. Clouds. Always clouds. No summer ever. Clouds always.
- senorsmile 9y agoJust looked outside in Seattle. I can confirm there is no sun.
- jmts 9y agoNo clouds over here in 'Straya. Bit of a scorcher though. Don't let 'em fool you - my mate Bazza reckons he counted four suns once. He loves a good yarn but he's dinky-di and I don't reckon he's taking the piss. I've never had the balls to count the suns me-self - Bazza's built like a brick shit-house but he was right up shit-creek when he done it. Came good after a week or so though. Reckon I'd cark it well before the ambos had time to come get me.
- SjuulJanssen 9y agoI rather think it's a decimal error. The distance to the sun is 15.813 μly away from earth. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_brightest_stars#/Main_table_of_the_brightest_stars https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_brightest_stars#/Main_ta...
