No wonder the chakras of my crystals need to be saged so regularly, look at those whirly bits!

I thought we had our monthly ‘how the solar system _really_ moves’ post a couple of weeks ago already
I’ll say what is always the thing to point out.
This view isn’t any more accurate than just looking at the orbits from the POV of a static sun. It’s just a different reference frame, and of course velocities make no sense unless in the context of a reference

What is always forgotten in these videos is that the sun isn’t traveling in a perfectly straight line like here. The gas giants’ gravity has influence on the sun so the line the sun travels should be a little bit of a spiral

Why did the sun change trajectory near the end? Is it stupid?

Where is the sun going though?

I hope it doesn’t go wrong. 😬

Just enjoy the ride as best you can. Be kind.

No, that’s space moving past the Earth at 66,600 mph.

That’s completely clear and I have no further questions.

Is that really the closest round number 😈

no it doesnt look like that.

This is probably also why we get no visitors

I’m pretty sure there is a point of reference from which Moon’s trajectory looks like my dick, but that doesn’t proove anything.

Hear me out: if we get rid of the big ball we can go faster.

Kinda changes your perspective on the concept of ‘here’.

For context this is a common flat earth talking point and these animations are made to make the spinning earth seem silly. To give an idea why this is silly, strip away the speed and realize this is going at about 1 year/second. In the scope of space this motion is hardly perfectible.

*How earth is moving* *~~through Space at 66,600 mph~~* *relative to our galactic core at a speed inexplicably taken relative to the sun that has no bearing on the animation..*

Meanwhile, my cartoon network watching ass saw that and instantly thought “Special Beam Canon!”

Does this keep going? I was happy to see the sun is also arcing through space.
*Everything* spins and/or revolves around something else: the entire universe is moving.
This is why very few time travel scenarios hold up. Aside from having no idea how we would be able to move in reverse along the axis of time, it wouldn’t be much use to do so without also accounting for a three-dimensional relocation to avoid popping out in the atmosphere, the vacuum of space, inside some other astral body, or under the surface of the earth.

66,600mph compared to what?
Relative to what though?
Not correct
Like a moth on a dangling bulb

Who’s steering the sun?
