I do not believe anything NASA says or prints anymore. They are known liars with no credibility.

Here's a neat little gravity toy. You can plop down a make believe early solar system and watch the effects of gravity on the individual 'planets'. Occasionally a 'hypervelocity' body will be cast from central star.

Stars are extremely interesting.

I shot this image recently of the star Rigel.

Look closely to the upper right, close to Rigel, you'll see it's companion star about nine seconds of arc away. Rigel is a blue super-giant about 900 light years away.

Rigel is many times the size of our sun. Our sun would appear like a small dot compared to Rigel.

In fact, to put things in perspective, our sun would be about as large as Rigel's companion is to Rigel.

It is blazing across space at a speed of 1.6 million miles (2.5 million kilometers) an hour, three times faster than our Sun's orbital velocity in the Milky Way.

So we're going about 150 miles per second. It doesn't feel like it.
