The Earth hurtles through space



This animation was created with Celestia, captioned and converted with OpenShot.

To reproduce in Celestia, go to the Sun, then go to the Earth, then hit Esc. It will disconnect you from the Earth, and puts you in a solar reference frame. Make sure you are in real time.

The text in copyable form:

This is the Earth hurtling through space in real time.

The 30km/s orbital speed is dwarfed by the size of the planet.
