DIRECTION toward Hercules and VegaSPEED about 20 km/s relative to neighbors

The Sun is not parked: relative to the neighboring stars, our whole solar system cruises at about twenty kilometers per second toward a point near the constellation Hercules, the solar apex. Earth travels with it, which means you have never been in the same place twice in your life. Home is not a location; it is a trajectory.
