Nope, 4.5 billion years ago
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/skytellers/sun/about.shtml Answer: In the 1800's scientists new nothing of nuclear fission or fusion and could only estimate the age of the sun from their own experience. They thought that it cold be at best, a few million years old.
Geologists and bioloists of the time thought the sun was at least several hundred million years old to account for the changes in rocks and life that they had observed.
Lord Kelvin thought that the sun could be at least 20 million years old based on the heating being caused by impacting meteors. Today we know the sun has existed for at least 4.6 billion years based on the radioactivity of meteorites. If you consider theology based science as reasonable, there is some contention that the entire Universe is only a few thousand years old

How do scientist think your moon was formed?
The moon was thought to have formed 4.527 billion years ago, when a large planetoid the size of mars collided with the earth, as the solar system was still in its infancy. The remains of this impact went into orbit around the Earth, forming into the moon we have today.
