The plane of the galaxy crosses Earth's celestial equator in Monoceros, then
the ecliptic (approximating to the Sun's celestial equator) at the feet of
Gemini, then passes north of Andromeda returning south through Cygnus to
cross the equator again in Aquila,the ecliptic in Sagittarius before
reaching down to Centaurus and Argo. By chance Hubwards is near the
Sagittarius intersection - and Rimwards therefore near the Gemini one.

Is that so? I could be wrong, but does the plane of rotation of the solar
system not lie in the same plane as the galaxy? When solar systems form
does the rotation of the galaxy impart radial velocity into the disk that
eventually forms the star and its attendant planets?

If that were the case, then planetary systems would all tend to rotate in
the same or similar planes.

Just conjecture, perhaps someone who knows what they are talking about
could chip in.
