Eppur, si muove?
The demo is organised by Metsähovi Radio Observatory of School of Electrical Engineering
On TikTok, someone claimed that, in fact, the Sun orbits the Earth and not the other way round. Is that true?
The Earth orbits the Sun – is this just a theory, or how can we verify it?
Come and measure the Earth’s motion through space using the huge radio telescopes in Kirkkonummi remotely! The results will be used to calculate the Earth’s motion at different times of the year and to determine once and for all whether the Earth really does orbit the Sun.
(Spoiler: it does.)
