@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Short answer is those stars are so far away that the movement of the solar system is tiny in comparison, so the perceived relative position of the constellations doesn’t change in your life time. But there are larger cycles at play and constellations are changing throug time. — bitman ∞/21M (@0xBitman) Aug 20, …

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Same reason an airplane doesn’t look like it’s traveling hundreds of miles an hour when you see it in the sky. The stars are reallyyyyy far away — trurazi (@truraziofficial) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/truraziofficial via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers I think it’s just how vast space is. I went skydiving once & found it fascinating that while I knew I was falling at high speed, at first it didn’t appear that the ground was getting closer, simply bc the distance made the fall seem so gradual.

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Because the nearby stars move in similar speeds and thousands of years is not enough for any recognizable difference. Over millions of years the change will be visible. — Maetis (@Maetis) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/Maetis via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers Because the galaxy is so gigantic that even moving at 448,000 mph the sun needs 230 million years to make one entire rotation around it, simply put, if you need a view around the entire galaxy, for it to make visible movement it needs to be shown at 100+ millions of years/seconds — …

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers It’s a matter of how fast we move in relation to the other stars, and the answer is very very slowly. If you had a timelapse of the sky from the last million years you’d see some movement. — Stephen Schritz (@sschritz2) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/sschritz2 via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers The whole milky way galaxy is spinning together plus the constellations you can see with your eye only make up the nearest 2% of the galaxy. — Blackbeard Trades -Sir⚔️ (@SirRX_0) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/SirRX_0 via IFTTT

@BowTiedMaker @MAstronomers It would take 10,000+ years to make a visible difference. We know they’re not exactly the same as they were 2000 years ago as it is. But in your lifetime? Not a chance you see it. — ⭐️🇺🇸Americas Middle Finger🖕🏽🇺🇸 ⭐️ (@AmericasMF) Aug 20, 2024 from http://twitter.com/AmericasMF via IFTTT

@MAstronomers The solar system rotates around the center of the Milky Way galaxy once every 225 million years.

@MAstronomers There are no stationary objects in the Universe: even our Solar System is moving not only around the center of the Galaxy (828,000 km/h) but also relative to its nearest stellar neighbors (70,000 km/h) https://t.co/5wcYkHJeLu — Engineers View (@Engineers_View1) Aug 19, 2024 from http://twitter.com/Engineers_View1 via IFTTT

Great Barrier Reef never better Annual measurements since 1986 show their highest point for 2024 But you won’t know because 1) The measuring institute stopped publishing a reef-wide index when things got too good. … Threads&refs: https://t.co/1wsqIVuguL https://t.co/t9ajL8TvJK — Bjorn Lomborg (@BjornLomborg) Aug 21, 2024 from http://twitter.com/BjornLomborg via IFTTT

I just bought the first box of baby wipes we’ve had to for the twins. Before the twins arrived, our friends and family showered us with 10 months worth of diapers and almost 15 months worth of baby wipes for TWO BABIES.
