Also you do not want that big yellow thing that is named after a software company shining in your screens.
If the object in question is the sun, then: a) The sun pre-dates the Sun Microsystems by several billion years, hence the astrophysical object really cannot be said to have been named after a twenty-something computer company. b) Sun Microsystems was named after an early Unix networking project at Stanford and is widely thought to stand for "Stanford University Network." It was not named after the ambiguous life-giver that some call Sol.
