The solar system may be racing through space 3 times faster than expected. Is the standard model of cosmology wrong?

Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be moving through the cosmos over three times faster than was previously theorized. The discovery could have implications for the standard model of cosmology, our current best model to explain the structure, composition and evolution of the universe. The team behind this research reached its conclusions using

Solar storms delay the launch of Blue Origin’s big new rocket with Mars orbiters for NASA

Strong solar storms responsible for breathtaking auroras across the U.S. have delayed the launch of Blue Origin’s big new rocket. Already grounded by poor weather at Cape Canaveral, Florida, the New Glenn rocket was poised to blast off Wednesday afternoon with two Mars orbiters for NASA… https://www.chron.com/news/article/solar-storms-delay-the-launch-of-blue-origin-s-21168804.php
