An immortal museum curator Who has been making exhibits based on her friends when they passed. For generations they were always beautiful and complex representing their emotions and interests, thier soul even. There has always been one huge exhibit in the empty centre of the museum, one day the museum closes down for renovation. you enter the museum a couple weeks later to find the exhibit has been filled. It has hundreds of items, all hand picked, it has letters of their life on display and sitting on a podium in the center of it is a small box containing a wedding ring.
The curator comes out to give a speech herself for the first time since the museumβs opening. As she speaks you notice a ring on her finger matching the one in the box
Every now and then yt space channels will be like "Jupiter is not orbiting the sun!!" or "the Sun is not the center of the solar system!!"
Those statements are true but worded clickbaityly.
Technically speaking nothing in Solar System orbits the Sun. What they are orbiting is called the solar system barycenter (SSB).
A barycenter is an imaginary point in space where the gravitational force of 2 or more bodies cancel each other out.
The simplest example is the Pluto-Charon system.
See this animation for example. You can see Pluto seems to be orbiting "nothing", but that nothing is called a barycenter, where gravity of Pluto and Charon cancel out. If you were to sit in this "nothing", gravity from Pluto and Charon will pull on you equally.
This is true for any systems with 2 bodies or more. Earth-Moon system is not exempt. However, we don't perceive the Earth and the Moon as "orbiting each other", because the barycenter of both bodies is well inside Earth. The greater the mass difference, the deeper the barycenter is located inside the more massive body.
And yes, this does apply to the entire Solar System. But not just the planets, the dwarf planets, the asteroids, and comets. The Sun is also orbiting around a barycenter, the solar system barycenter (SSB) I mentioned earlier.
Like the Earth-Moon system, the SSB is very very deep within the Sun. Extremely deep, because the Sun accounts for 99.86% of the entire mass of the solar system. Remember that the greater the mass difference, the barycenter is located deeper inside the more massive object.
In fact the SSB is constantly changing as all the 8 planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets orbit the Sun. But again the Sun takes up 99.86% the mass of the entire solar system so the change is so minuscule and so insignificant.
This concept of barycenter is often not taught in school grade science, especially the "Sun is not the center of the solar system" part. Because the SSB is so deep within the Sun that it's not a big deal in the first place.
It's easier to just comprehend and digest that the Sun is the center of solar system.
I'm joining go on then
Join me in imagining 30 (+6 time loop) year old Kusuke... Mien gott.......
Thank you for your request @podado-t-memes
A little animation Iβm still learning but I probably always will be
OMG Torisai AND cats!!!!!!! I'm in love π
Torisai kitties /α Λ΅- β© -Λ΅γ
I think I've fully developed an obsession for torisai. Quick someone, stop me!
Farming?!? Oh or turning children into birds
Toritsuka is actually so funny cause like why does he look like a mom yelling at their kid? It's so funny he's like mom material πππ HIS HANDS TOO THERE SO CUTE ππ«Άπ«Άπ«Ά I also love how Saiki is just standing there.
That's nice fish
sometimes I think
Two vampires let's call them M and S fell in love and late one night M says "some times I wonder what I look like now did my appearance change when I did do I look the same I barely remember what I used to look like anymore" this eventually led to them trying to describe eachother and a laugh filled night years and years later S walked up holding a painting with a huge smile "it's you" she said her fangs caught the light "I knew you wanted to know how you looked" M smiled back she looked different now darker hair tried eyes but she looked like her truely her
I make little drawings and stuff and whatever I like at the moment
