if nasa says our solarsystem has been moving 100,000,000mph for billions

[Marty Champions]

It's because our angle of vision.

Imagine a car passing next to you at 100 mph, it only takes a couple of seconds for the car to get out of your sight (assuming you don't move your head).

Now imagine an airplane moving at 500 mph, thousands of feet's above the ground. Although it's moving way faster than the car, it takes longer for the plane to get out of your sight.

The same applies to what we see in the night sky. Things are moving, really really fast, but they are so far away that we still can see them.

stars and constellations are at different distances from earth

stars of the same constellation are at different distances from earth
if a star in a constellation is 800 million miles from earth and another star in that same constellation is 900 million miles then that further star has to be moving precisley slower or faster in order to keep integrity of the constellation

if science can only claim a very small fractional amount of movement or differentiation in the constellation over a large amount of time 350 years you can bank on they have no clue wats really out there


your comment was so irrelevant and stupid entirely missing the argument

 constellations are moving together, they share the same gravity well, those constellations may be gone completely, we won't know for thousands of years.

They are a cluster of stars while moving, are moving together. The amount of space between things is absolutely insane.

This will help put things into perspective.

You're not realizing how far the stars are. 800 million miles is a drop in the bucket, that's well within our solar system. Stars aren't moving around like planets from our perspective. And there is no integrity of the constellations. Constellations are just arbitrary groupings of stars notated by ancient people, to what they saw in the sky, it just stuck around out of convenience. And it will one day be entirely rearranged.

Voyager 1 or 3, to lazy to look it up, maybe another one, has been travelling for like 40 years and is just now reaching the edge of our solarsystem.

Excellent link.

This is the one that did it for me (massive 21mb image)

The scale is too unfathomable to be contemplated by our experience of space and time. I think the species has not evolved to meaningfully explore even local star systems, never mind the galaxy. We just experience time too fast.

the constellations havent changed in 1000's of years

Look up Barnard's star, it's very close to us in relative terms. Its movement has been tracked. Binary stars that are close to eachother, their orbital paths have been tracked too. Some of them take only months to move around each other.

yes but we cant see it with naked eye

all constellations have kept there integrity over many years
wich seems to be a tall task considering every thing is moving in diff directions
i cant figure it out

i beleive the planets move but not stars
