Hi! Noob here. Is there a name for the place in the sky that is the earth’s direction of travel? For example, the Geminid meteor shower is starting. So I assume the earth is traveling (what appears to be ) toward Gemini at this point in time. Previously it was Leo. So our direction of orbit…does it have a name? Is it tracked somewhere

    Right along the ecliptic! High noon, roughly 90 degrees along the horizon is prograde. Sunset would be about center sky along the ecliptic. Cool
