That's definitely bad reporting.
But what is the diameter of the solar system?

Does it stop at the heliopause where the solar wind meets interstellar space which is 100AU or approx 13 light hours giving the diameter of the solar system 26 light hours.

Or does it stop at the edge of the Oort cloud which is 1 light year from the sun to its edge.
