With the galactic center visible on a clear night, let's hope we can celebrate Galactic Tick day under clear Hawaiian skies tonight:
Earth and our solar system circle the center of the Milky Way galaxy every 225 million (earth) years.
One centi-arcsecond of this rotation is called a Galactic Tick. It happens every 633.7 days, or 1.7361 years. One of those ticks takes place tonight, September 29th, 2016.
Galactic Tick Day is set aside to acknowledge our Sun's motion, our progress around the home galaxy, and to celebrate humanity's knowledge of this motion.
