The International Space Station hit a fun milestone on Monday.
The station just surpassed its 100,000th orbit since the first component of the outpost launched to space in 1998.
In total, this means the space laboratory has traveled about 2.6 billion miles, “or roughly the distance between Earth and Neptune,” NASA said in a video description. It takes about 90 minutes for the station to make a complete orbit of Earth, and crewmembers on the station experience about 16 sunrises and sunsets per day.
