You may consider yourself a pretty sedentary person, maybe even a couch potato. But even so, you are constantly traveling through space. You travel thousands of miles every day as the earth rotates (24,000 if you live at the equator, less towards the poles). You are also traveling with earth around the sun. And the sun is moving, too. How far have we come?
As they say, there's an app for that. The Cosmic Odometer will calculate how far you've traveled through space by your date and time of birth. There will be some variance because they don't ask for latitude, but the totals are so enormous it doesn't matter. You can see my stats above. I have traveled far enough to reach the moon and back more than two million times, to Pluto 306 times, and 19% of a light year. As they also say, your mileage may vary. -via Boing Boing
