An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.
Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t

I had no idea this was happening. Where are we going?

The moon orbits us. We orbit the sun. The sun orbits the milky way. The milky way orbits whatever the fuck it wants (ok it has an orbit around a certain galaxy cluster but I guess it’s not a closed orbit).

benevolentstranger: This yahoo/tumblr thing is really bothering me
Anyone who is a regular user on Tumblr agrees it’s an awful idea. Take the advice from the people that use it on a daily basis because we are the ones that keep this site going. Not many of us will be around if Yahoo fucks everything up and everyone seems to be pretty determined that they definitely will.
For once can it be about the cause and not so much about the money? As silly as it sounds Tumblr is like a family here. People reach out to each other here, and are always keen to help another person out if they are in any distress. We are comfortable (but not saying we are afraid of any change).
If yahoo comes into the picture, the atmosphere here won’t be that way anymore. You can count on that.
