At the aphelion, the distance from the Earth’s center to the Sun’s center is going to be 152,087,738 kilometers (94,502,939 ...

The new findings beg the question of how reliable such interpretations can be if elliptical galaxies account for at least 1.4 percent of the total measured radiation previously attributed to the CMB.
