The Earth is traveling around the Sun at 67,000 miles/hour but whatever about your geographical location from when you left to when you get there

Actually, Charlie, something off topic. My wife had a story accepted to Analog a ways back, but we have no idea how to find out what issue it'll be in. How would she find out when the story will actually be in print?
