Surely you're not suggesting that I should stop worrying about whether the Celtics are gonna wind up with the #1 draft pick in the next NBA draft, are you?
Tell me it isn't so!

Next you'll expect me to make peace with the hated Lakers.

Well, I want the Warriors to end up with the last pick of the draft.

This is a shot from 2014, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. This image, which captured a tiny section of space, contains over 10,000 galaxies photographed in ultraviolet, showing off the color array found in deep space:

Now let me really boggle your minds! :eek:



The Earth rotates at ~1,040 mph (1,673 kph).

Earth flies around the Sun at a slow ~66,000 mph (107,000 kph), and completes the orbit in 1 year.

Our solar system travels around our spiral galaxy, the Milky Way, at a speed of ~515,000 mph (828,000 kph). We are on one of the spiral arms. It takes our solar system around 230,000,000 years to make a complete circle around our galaxy.

Our galaxy is trucking through space at an astonishing ~134,000,000 mph (215,652,096 kph) and has been doing so for billions of years!

For those keeping score, on Earth we rotate within a rotation, within a rotation, within a rotation! :cool:
