The Milky Way - The Milky Way itself travels through space at appr. 600 km/s - The image used for texturing the Milky Way is NOT a picture of the Milky Way. There are no pictures of the outside of the Milky Way. - There could either be a black hole or a central sun in the center of the Milky Way. I went with the texture image and made it shine. - A complete revolution around the galaxy takes 226 million years - Do not confuse the Galactic Plane with the Galactic Equator: the Sun never "crosses" the Galactic Equator because the Sun is always on the Galactic Equator, by definition. Precession cycle - One precession cycle takes 25,920 years - Since one revolution takes 226 mln years, this would mean that there are appr. 8692 precessional cycles in one revolution. In this animation there are only 60. Scale & distance - the Sun is 109 times bigger than the Earth. If this animation was to scale, the planets would be invisible. - Our Solar System should be a gazillion times smaller compared to the Milky Way. If this animation was to scale, you could not see the Solar System, the Sun or any of the planets. - The software used to create this animation is unable to work with extreme sizes and distances.

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses." The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you, will eventually decrease you. Consider this: * Never receive counsel from unproductive people. * Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. * Don't follow anyone who are not going anywhere. With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. * Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. * Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.
