Here’s a wild ride you didn’t know you were on—our entire solar system is bobbing up and down through the Milky Way’s galactic plane! 🌌
   • Cosmic Confluence 💫 Exploring Supercluster...  

As the Sun orbits the Milky Way every ~230 million years, the whole solar system also oscillates above and below the galactic plane. Each trip from top to bottom takes about 60 million years, creating a slow-motion cosmic roller coaster.

This vertical motion might even influence the Oort Cloud—and some scientists wonder if it has subtle effects on Earth’s history over deep time.
