Happy Aphelion Day! How are you celebrating?

Earth is farther from the sun today (July 6) than at any other time of the year. The exact moment of aphelion happens at 12:46 p.m. EDT (1646 GMT), when Earth will be 94,507,803 miles (152,095,566 kilometers) away from the sun. That's more than 1.5 million miles (2.5 million km) farther than the planet's average distance of about 93 million miles (150 million km) — and twice as far away as perihelion, or the shortest distance from the sun, which happened on Jan. 3.

You'd think a website called space.com wouldn't frick up easily verified facts about the Earth's orbit. The Earth is not twice as far from the sun at aphelion than it is at perihelion. The Earth's orbit is almost circular.
