How Fast Are You Moving When You Are Sitting Still?
by Andrew Fraknoi, Foothill College & the Astronomical Society of the
Pacific
Have you ever considered how fast you are really moving when it seems
you are not moving at all? How fast does the Earth move in its daily
rotation and in its yearly revolution around the Sun? How fast do we
travel together with the Sun through the Milky Way Galaxy and how
quickly does the galaxy move through the universe? Find out more in
this issue.
Topics include:
* Daily and yearly motion
* The Sun's motion within the Milky Way Galaxy
* The galaxy's motion through the universe
* The Big Bang
* Cosmic Background Radiation
* Two classroom activities about our place in space and time
