Aunt Jen Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 So if you're sitting still, how fast are you going? Earth spin on axis Orbit sun Orbit galaxy Gslaxy moves toward Grewt Attractor... So you're going faster at night than day Faster in winter than summer Faster in some aeons than others, As depends on where you are in Milky Way's rush to Great Attractor. But roughly, to make it simple: 1.3 million miles per hour, give or take. http://astrosociety.org/edu/publications/tnl/71/howfast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Jennifer Livingston Seagull? I met Richard Bach at Oshkosh. Wonderful. I love his books. Me too. I've still got copies of "Illusions', "One", "Stranger To The Ground", and "Jonathan.......". My 12 yrs old grandaughter is a voracious, and I mean voracious reader. She went though Jonathan in less than an hour. I think she just gobbles up printed words. She just started "War and Peace". Can you imagine a twelve year old reading Tolstoy?
