Looks correct but NASA doesn't use more than 15 digits for calculations
within the solar system, the biggest error at that distance is the
width of one's little finger.
They do say that we only need 37 decimal places to encompass the entire
universe (estimated to be 46 billion light years) to slice an hydrogen
atom into two at that distance.
