Moving beyond the “i’m a scientist, NOT an artist” aesthetic of the site’s owner, this page really puts things in perspective. Check it out.
Right Now:
The Earth is revolving around the Sun at a speed of about 18.5 miles/sec (30/km/sec).
At the same time, the Milky Way, of which the Earth is only a microscopic element, is traveling at about 155miles/sec (250 km/sec).
The Milky Way is only one in a group of galaxies called Local Group. The Local Group is traveling at close to 185 miles/sec (300 km/sec).
That means that even when you’re sitting still, you’re moving faster than you can comprehend.
