| Dec 22, 2022 at 0:46 | comment | added | Michael Eccher | Yes I understand the ecliptic is different. To clarify, the ecliptic is angled and would be like the sun(our) as the hub, and the solar system the spokes/wheel. The sun is in the center and wobbles up and down along the galaxies center plane. Which is potentially too large for us to even measure. I’m wondering if the the change in galactic elevation, of the planet(s) on the ecliptic is affecting us biologically or the climate? | |
| Dec 21, 2022 at 3:37 | comment | added | JohnHoltz | The plane of the galaxy is different from the ecliptic, so "centerline of the galactic plane (ecliptic)" is confusing. The plane of the galaxy runs through Scorpius/Sagittarius, Scutum, Aquila, Cygnus, Cassiopeia, and so on. The ecliptic plane runs through Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricornus, and so on. Please confirm you are asking about the plane of the galaxy. | |
