The sun's peculiar velocity with respect to distant galaxies is roughly estimated from the red-shift data for nearby galaxies to be ~400 km/sec toward lII~335°, bII~7°. Future observations on the angular distribution of the cosmic microwave background should be able to test this estimate, if the background has a cosmological origin. If the test is successful it would imply that a "local" inertial frame is nonrotating with respect to distant matter to an accuracy of 10-3 sec of arc per century, which would represent a 5000-fold increase of accuracy.
