I don't know how anything can spin that fast either. I still can't wrap my head around the fact we are spinning at 17,000 MPH PLUS traveling how ever fast through space while we spin! Why don't we feel it at all? Where exactly are we in this universe? Where are we going? What's in the way of our direction, and how much is headed toward us? So many questions for all of us.

Science is one never ending learning project! Wish I had paid attention in my youth. Well, better late than never. Love the pictures posted. Just thinking about some of the concepts boggles the mind! When I was a kid, we thought the heavens were static, and never changed. Oops.... we sure know different today. Great to have this site to share information. ginnie

We of course spin, and then our Galaxy spins around its center as well. I think the universe, and most of what's in it spins too. Yep you are right, it is all do to gravity. Size of the mass. Crazy place. ginnie

They seem to be area's of gravity that are swirling in a pattern. If gravity wasn't present,the universe would be out of control,and objects would be traveling
in all directions individually. It would be chaos. BF |

I'm glad that we are where we are in the solar system. We have a nice bright Sun creating beautiful sunsets,tolerable weather,and oxygen.
I looked at this picture where the Martian Rover was taking a picture of the Martian sunset. It looks cold there,and the sun is so small. 2014 March 02: Martian Sunset. BF |

Hi, Steve, Thanks for spotting these pictures for us. I will get back to this later -- it takes a few steps and I am hoping to go to bed. M |
