karatam:stubbornandsolo:carry-on-my-wayward-butt:vantasticmess:w-for-wumbo:I am so glad someone made this cuz I’ve always wondered how the movement of the solar system might look as a whole….BUT LOOK HOW EPIC THE SOLAR SYSTEM IS GUYSFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKSometimes I forget we are plummeting in space at high velocity…And there’s even more to it.The Earth is rotating around the Sun at a speed of 70,000 mph.The Sun is rotating around the centre of the galaxy at a speed of 560,000 mph.And the galaxy is moving away from the centre of the universe at a speed of 1,230,000 mph. (-ish, there’s lot’s of debate about this and a lot of it depends on what you’re measuring it against)So right now, you’re hurtling through space at a speed of about 1,800,000 mph. -- source link
