Where am I traveling?

July 12, 2017

What a terrific project. I know intellectually that we are traveling all the way around the sun every year. I am still stunned when I visualize the actual process – of being 93 million miles away from the sun on a trip that annually covers 584 million miles at a speed of about 67,000 miles per hour.

Thanks Daily Timewaster.
