[quote:pink cat:MV8yMDc0NzAzXzM0OTI0MTM0XzgyQ0NDMEM3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 29351945:MV8yMDc0NzAzXzM0OTI0MDQ4X0M1Rjk3MDFD] The Sun never crosses the Galactic Equator because the Sun is always on the Galactic Equator: that Equator passes through the center of the Sun, by definition. We sometimes hear that the Sun aligns with the Galactic Equator near the Winter Solstice of each year, but that's only because we tend to look at things from our from our provincial geocentric perspective. The ecliptic plane (i.e., the plane that contains the Earth's orbit) passes through the Center of the Sun, just like the "Galactic Equator", but the two are not parallel. [b]Therefore, the ecliptic plane and the "Galactic Equator" intersect along a line that passes through the Sun's center.[/b] When the Earth crosses that line in its yearly orbit around the Sun, the Sun appears (from our perspective) to "align with the intersection of the ecliptic and the galactic equator".[b] Actually, it's the Earth that's getting in line.[/b] http://www.2012hoax.org/galactic-equator-vs-plane [/quote] ya, this is about something more than the galactic equator. just as an equator and a center do not mean the same thing but are related.

and how this alignment is NOT the same as the one that happens every year on the winter solstice.
any advice for a good page to send people to to read about this?
because this nasa thing:
[
link to www.nasa.gov
]
bugs me how nasa says " Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence." but that is not what alignment people are talking about in 2012. it really is an alignment that happens every 26,000 years. i'm trying to find a page that will describe it accurately and simply. but yes, this is disinfo in that yes, what they say is true, BUT what they fail to leave out is that the mayan calendar is not referring to this annual alignment.
and i would like a simple page i can point to for my friends to understand because i am having a hard time explaining it.
