Original Note:
This is a popular but debunked video of how planets move through space. The original creator incorrectly depicts key details such as the Sun leading the planets and twisting spiral around the Sun’s path he attributes to precession, both of which are wrong. https://slate.com/technology/2013/03/vortex-motion-viral-video-showing-suns-motion-through-galaxy-is-wrong.html https://www.universetoday.com/107322/is-the-solar-system-really-a-vortex/
