Loving this video of the Solar System depicted as a vortex because of the Sun’s movement through space. It’s obviously jazzed up, but I wonder what Dopers think of it.
Well, they do say that there’s a massive black hole in the center of the galaxy so in a way we’re all circling the drain.
But I wouldn’t call the solar system a “vortex” in any meaningful sense.
This is what the “double rainbow” guy would have come up with if he’d had a bigger budget.
The video is wrong:
Thanks Wendell that’s a really interesting link. The Bad Astronomer has completely destroyed that video.
