Eowyn of Ithilien has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

I'm fairly sure that Tolkien himself states that orcs and goblins are two words for the same thing. The Orcs (or goblins) that can travel in sunlight were specially bred to do so (the Uruk-Hai); it's not that orcs are foul creatures that can move during the day and goblins are restricted to the night.
