Never thought about our solar system moving through space, as shown in the second depiction, it seems so chaotic
no doubt this model shows more of a possibility of cosmic collisions

There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h)

Leant this at school. Always fun to think of the speed we're flying through space at...

Quote:Earth orbits around the sun at a speed of 67,100 miles per hour.....

As well as moving around the Sun, the Sun and Earth are orbiting around the dense center of our galaxy at some 447,000 miles per hour.....

It also makes you think of these people who claimed they've time traveled. As the Earth is never in the same spot twice??

Well yes I learned that too but always visualized it as the whole solar system moving in unison, Like a galactic Frisbee that isn't what the graphic depicts at all, it is as if the Sun is barrelling through space dragging all the other planets and their orbits are wobbly AF.

Amazing...and chaotic to be honest.

Brace for impact! Shocked
