Our Galaxy

Question 1

What is the current direction and speed of our Galaxy.

Question 2

What is the current position of Our Sun relative to this direction.

question 3

What is the current direction of the Long axis of Mercury.

Purpose

It is the opinion of the author that the future path (movement) of the planet Mercury depends about the current speed of the Sun through space.

Description

The following is a picture of our Galaxy with the Sun S and Mercury M. 
           <----  
              x                  O = Centre of our Galaxy 			
         x         x             O - x0 = Reference line
      x               x          O - v = Direction of Galaxy
     x      v          x  M      v1 = projection of v in
           v1.        n  . M1         plane of Galaxy 
    x         O         S        S = Sun
                          n      M = Mercury at Aphelion
     x                 x         S - M = Long axis 
      x               x          nSn = Line of node 
         x         x             M1 = projection of M in 
              x0                      plane of Galaxy 
            ---->
The Sun moves in the direction of the arrow. Speed is 250km/sec
