This happen when the dimensions range become to large. You get hit with
precision loss.
Try to keep your range of scales to less than 1e6 if at all possible.
If your smallest object is about 1 unit in size, the farthest object
should be located at less than 1000000 unit away.
If dividing the Sun's location by 1e10 makes the sun_object visible,
it's obvious that your scale range is WAY to large !
When using a parallel light, you can always safely place it much closer,
if you also take care to scale it down proportionally.
