Right now you’re orbiting the galactic core (well basically, its very close) at 240km/s +/- ~30km/s (Earths rotation of the Sun).
And it still took 65 million years to complete less than half an orbit of the galaxy.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
