Is Our Solar System Moving Through Space

Thanks to the incredible science of astronomy and astrophysics we at last understand to tremendous precision.

Is our solar system moving through space.

The solar system is constantly falling on the central buldge of the milky way galaxy. This is a non conven. It may appear that way but it is not rotating around its center. The earth you see much like all the planets in our solar system orbits the sun at a much speedier clip.

Zoom out further and our entire. From the planet to our solar system to the milky way and beyond we re in motion with respect to the rest of the universe. And can quantify exactly how fast we re moving through space on. Please consider becoming a patron to support my work.

So although earth orbits the sun at 66 600 mph and the sun orbits the milky way at 514 500 mph our solar system s speed relative to the cmb is about 827 000 mph. The milky way too moves in space relative to other galaxies. The sun and the whole solar system is not orbiting the center of the milky way galaxy. But the accuracy of this has been utterly derided as an affront to scientific dignity.

The solar system isn t a vortex but rather the sum of all our great cosmic motions. From this effect in the big bang s.
