      Interesting idea... but wouldn't that be a logical given if the sun is indeed travelling in that direction?

      I don't know in which direction the sun travels in comparison to the orbital plane of its planets, but if it travels perpendicular to it, then this is what it would look like... no?

          Seen that video showing the Sun’s “vortex motion” around the galaxy? It’s pretty, but also very, very wrong.
