Ladies and gentlemen, please take your partners for the planetary waltz!
The heavens may look tranquil, yet everything is in constant motion. The Earth revolves around the Sun, the Solar System revolves around the Milky Way, which in turn revolves around the Local Group of galaxies, and so on.
Listen to this month’s Sky Watch and discover the wonders of our dark skies in the Petersphere.
