Most time travel stories, that I know of, have a convention where when you travel through time, you appear in the same location relative to the planet you're on. The Time traveller in The Time Machine, for example, appears in the future at the same geographic location as when he left. Even relatively "hard" sci-fi like looper uses this same conceit. However, the planet is moving through space, so, strictly speaking, if you leapt into the future, but remained where you were, you'd actually appear off world in space.
Is there any fiction that deals with this, or at least addresses it?
