Space is cool shit. Want to really get a new perspective?
So, obviously we’re on earth. The moon goes around the earth, and earth goes around the sun, right?
All the planets and the astroid belts, all moving around the sun. That’s our solar system.
Pretty cut and dry. But it goes further than that. Our solar system doesn’t stay in one place. The entire thing, us the planets moons the sun, everything is going around the center of the galaxy too. We’re blasting through space right now.
So you’re standing/sitting on a planet that’s spinning. While it’s spinning it’s traveling around the sun. While we’re traveling around the sun the sun itself is traveling around the galaxy dragging us with it.
And then of course the galaxy isn’t stationary either. Other galaxies and clusters of galaxies are pulling it along too.
Yeah, and on top of that, our galaxy is probably yeeting through space at some ungodly velocities around the Local Group.
And on top of that, the Local Group is getting yeeted away from all the other galactic clusters in the (observable) universe at a speed that is, technically, faster than light.
