So, planets revolve around Stars
Stars Revolve around a Black Hole (Within a Galaxy)
Satellites revolve around planets
We revolve around planets
Galaxies revolve around whatever, they're attracted to eachother
Everything moves in a spiral motion
Even parts of Atoms

What does this all mean?

Sup /sci/.
Science fiction works that take place in space, or are space-travel oriented usually have plot devices such as ancient star-maps, or stuff like that. Even today, some of our star charts are based off the ancient Mayan star maps.

My question is, considering that the earth orbits around the sun, and surely the sun orbits around the galactic core at a ludicrous speed, how accurate would be, say, the Mayan star maps VS. the mapping currently being done by our drones?

Why are so many cosmic objects directly facing us?

Or, why does it appear so?

YOU IDIOTS ACTUALLY THINK THAT STARS AND GALAXIES ARE HUNDREDS OF LIGHT YEARS AWAY? AHAHHA YOU MUST BE JOKING MY PREACHER TODAY TOLD ME THAT YOU SCINETISTS THINK YOU CAN JUDGE THE DISTANCE OF AN ARBITRARY OBJECT BECAUSE SIMPLY YOU UNDERSTAND MATH WELL THATS SIMPLY NOT TRUTH BECAUSE THE LUMINOSITY OF SAID OBJECTS COULD COME FROM OBJECTS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND DISTANCES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS! HA! YOU SIMPLY CLAIM TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW AS TO NOT APPEAR STUPID MANY CENTURIES AFTER THE HUMBLE SERVANT GALILEO SHOWED YOU WHAT A TELESCOPE IS SO AFTER THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE THE MONOPOLY ON SPACE BUT YOU CANT EVENN EXPLAIN THAT WHAT YOU WERE WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WASENT EVEN TRUE OF COSMOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF SAID EXPLORATIONS WHICH ARE BOUND TO BE IMPOSSIBLE SO AS TO CAUSE A PARADOX IN YOUR THINKING NOW EXPLAIN YOURSELVES AS TO WHY YOU THINK YOU KNOW COSMIC DISTANCES WITHOUT EVEN A FIXED POINT OF REFERENCE IDIOTS.

Question. Has it been determined that all galaxies and solar systems spin roughly the same direction?
