Solar system moving 100000 mph faster than thought; 15% speed increase translates to doubling of mass of Milky Way

It turns out that our solar system is moving nearly 100,000 m.p.h. faster than previously thought — revolving around the center of the Milky Way at 568,000 m.p.h., announced Mark Reid of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics on Monday at the American Astronomical Society's conference in Long Beach, Calif. Since velocity is related to mass, the 15% increase in solar-system speed translates into a near doubling of mass of the Milky Way, according to Reid's group — and all of that newfound bulk is composed of dark matter.
Original estimates of the solar system's speed were based on what Reid calls "one- dimensional velocity" obtained solely from Doppler shifts. "Now," he says, "we have three-dimensional velocity and more exact measurements" — a huge advancement in the field. The findings debunk the notion that the Milky Way is a little-sister galaxy to her neighbor Andromeda. "They're more like fraternal twins," Reid says. And the fact that they are of equal size increases the likelihood that the two will someday collide.
But humans needn't flee the galaxy anytime soon. First, there's so much room between stars that Earth likely wouldn't feel any effects of a galactic collision, though our constellations would certainly change. And second, a crash is still about 3 billion to 5 billion years away, by which time our sun will have transformed into a red giant and turned the Earth into a smidgen of charred dust.

Welcome to our 2012 information Page

Our solar system appears to be undergoing some significant changes that are reflected by the latest measurements taken by NASA with the recent spacecraft sent from earth. What does the evidence have to tell us as we move boldly into the new century. Considerable research and time has been spent on the ancient myths and mysteries - their meaning - and how they may apply to our modern age as we move into the age of Aquarius.
  Have our traditions and science kept pace? Or is it time to take a long look at some of the many ideas and theories that have been proposed and then discounted by the main stream science and thinking - is it possible that these ideas were purposely suppressed.
