Since the sun isn't turning around the earth, I believe the sun is still where you point at.

Technically the Sun is moving as part of the arms of the Milky Way galaxy, which itself is moving through space on a collision course with Andromeda, so where you point at will be off.

This would be unnecessarily pedantic but not wrong* if not that the heart rotates on itself, so you are pointing at a 8 minutes old direction.
*All these discussion make no sense at all, as neither synchronous remote events nor the concept of what rotates around what are meaningful. This is not to say that we should not have this conversation, but to say that you are being pedantic without bringing anything to the table.
