The Astrology of Space
The Plane of the Local System
The Local System is a thin sheet of young objects
500-700 parsecs long and several hundred parsecs
wide with a thickness of 70 parsecs. This elongated
system is parallel to the direction 160°-340° (New
Galactic Longitude), inclined at about 18° to the
galactic plane, with the Sun located near the leading
edge of the system about 100 parsecs from the
centroid of the system. The system, in other words, is
an elongated form that points roughly in the direction
of the galactic center. The axis aligned toward the
center of the galaxy makes sense, because
differential galactic rotation (the spinning wheel)
would destroy any object whose axis might be along
the direction of a spiral arm. However, an axis toward
the center might persist for 100 million years before
being dispersed.
