Welcome

Our rock isn't really the prettiest to look at from far away but it's really nice when you get closer. It's not the biggest, though. And we don't have any dust rings yet.

Every year our rock completes one entire orbit around our star, a distance of approximately 585,000,000 miles. To accomplish this, our rock spins really quickly about 365 times. Usually once we're done with one of these long trips, we celebrate surviving another orbit with a "birthday party." When we drink too many celebration liquids, sometimes we perceive everything to be spinning.

"This is what our rock must feel like all the time," we think. "Everything is spinning."

Welcome to our rock. Please enjoy your orbit.
