I live at 4000 feet above sea level and list night I saw some shooting stars, one real big one coming from the south so i thought I would star-gaze awhile and see if more meteors would come my way, no more came and after awhile I was admiring how well I could see the milky way and then I realized it was running North to South and something inside just jumped out and said this is not right, so I run the model of Earth and galaxy in my head like 3 times to make sure I am seeing this right, now I am positive That this is not right, so I go make a Google search and really not that much came up on this subject , besides that it is a mystery to why this is, so Then I start wondering is this common? are other solar systems at odd angles to the galaxy like this or is it some kind off anomaly, and I am 43 years old and I have never seen the solar system portrayed in this manner, its always shown as on the same plane as the galaxy, what the heck. I have tried to find out about other solar systems and the way they are oriented to the milky way, but I can't find anything, astronomers are finding all kinds of new planets in the news all the time but no news of how the angle of the orbits are.
I would really like to know.
