@Gusto, fett: They haven't stated yet where the "posh estate house" is located. If it's on Earth, then there some science fail. But... if it's on a space station far away that was observing things as the sun died, then maybe. At any rate, it sounds like they're going for a rather heavy-handed metaphor here, rather than anything too heavy on the science.
