FLIGHT OF EARTH
By Garrett P. Serviss

need no instrument but the
naked eye.
At the beginning of January
Vega, burning like great dia-
mond, is to be seen very early
in the evening, sinking toward
the northwestern horizon. The
large figure Of the Northern
Cross stands in the Milky Way
directly over Vega. The point
toward which we are speeding,
led by the sun, IS about de-
grees below Vega. toward the
horizon.
The point toward which the
suns north pole, points lies on a
line with Vega and the pole
star. and half way between
them; and the north pole of the
ecliptic Is about 5 degrees north
, west of this point.
It is well that nature has
given us heads that are not
made dizzy by the motions Of
the earth we ride on. At one
and the same instant we are
carried eastward" by the ro-
tary motion Of our globe at
speed of a thousand miles an
, hour as measured at the equa-
tor: eastward" also by the an
nual revolution around the sun,
at a speed of over 1S miles per
second, and northerly, nearly to-
ward Vega, by the great trans
latory motion of the entire solar
system, with a speed OF IL miles
per second.
Yet we are. as far as any sense
of movement is concerned, utterly
unconscious that we move at all!
These various motions smoothly
continue, and our ordinary senses
tell us nothing of it.
In trying to relate the motions
TO one another, we must remem-
her that east and west have ref
erence only to direction Of move
ment around a circle. If we go
round the earth we carry east
always ahead of us, and i'm tray
cling around the sun the earth IS
always moving eastward, j. e.,
The same way round the circle
that it turns round it's axis. But
north and south are stable di-
rections in space.
"If we could look at the solar
system from without we would
see the planets all travelling
around the sun, nearly in a single
plane, and in a direction which,
on the earth, we call east; and
at the same time we would see
the whole system moving IN IL
northerly direction at an iuclina-
ton of about 60 degrees to the
common plane of planetary revo-
luton around the sun.
