Off to my pad in Mallorca.
Sasguru, I realise you must be a near-neighbour, living as we both do in uber-trendy Hoxton (ha!) - though my flat there is more of a garret than a loft.

By my reckoning you'd be about 1/3rd of light year away from where the Solar System was then.
The local group of galaxies that includes ours is moving at roughly 600 km/sec towards a supercluster called the Great Attractor, and light speed is about 300,000 km/sec in a vacuum.
The galaxy is also obviously rotating, but a lot slower I think, and I can't be bothered to pursue that.

Guest repliedThe thing I don't understand about time travel is this...
If you travelled back in time to 1852, where physically would you be?
Not on the Earth as it wasn't at this point in space in 1852...
