Our solar system is moving at 828,000 km/hr orbiting the center of the Milky Way

And at that high rate, it still takes us about 230 million years to make one complete orbit around the Milky Way.
Damn space, you scary.

Yeah, too much for my lil brain to understand.
Cheers to the weekend and adult beverages though.

MPH or GTFO :spanked:
Incredible trying to wrap one's mind around that

okay okay
828,000 kph = 514,495.3 mph
828,000 kph = 514,495.3 mph

Not at all. Even space that isn't occupied by visible matter and energy is stuffed with dark matter, dark energy, neutrinos, the Higgs Field and Higgs Boson, the Supersymmetry partners of ordinary particles and many other exotic particles that we haven't yet detected but that we know exist according to the Standard Model of particle physics.

At the center of the milky way is deez nuts.

Yeah, the size of space, our universe, is mind boggling.
Understanding it begins, first and foremost, with coming to grips with the speed of light beginning with 186,000 miles per second.
Once that sinks-in, everything else will eventually follow. It almost breaks-down like the metric system from there.

So, in its entire existence, our solar system has only made about 20 orbits around the galaxy's center. The sun will be dead by the time we make another 20 or so. In those terms, the life of the solar system seems short.

I think about these kind of things when Alabama loses a football game. "You know, letting Auburn ruin our chance at history by returning a field goal for a touchdown isn't that big of a deal when you consider the size of the universe...."

Catfish bringing the Monty Python reference FTW !
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the 'milky way'
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth
