I have no problem with the "a wizard did it/it´s magic" explanation, but the power level involved in the above probably makes Celestia the most powerful magic user ever seen in fiction. Possibly by orders of magnitude. It´s an automatic God Mode "I win" button. There´s simply nothing with the level of power to stop her from doing whatever she wants.
So, you might just have made MLP:FIM the evil galaxydestroying alien invaders...
And you HAVE made them the evil STAR system destroying alien invaders.
Oops?

Do what you want. "It's magic. An Alicorn did it." But stop asking physics and astronomy to hold hands and smile about it. They're as confused as you are.

Elegant, simple, no need to rape laws of physics.
P.S. The plot was "Oh shit, I'm Twilight Sparkle...! What, sun won't come up...? Oh shit, we have to repair it ASAP or this world is frozen-nitrogen-level of screwed!
