Thanks for this answer. When I said "back and forth" I meant that, looking at the path from the side, if it was a spiral path, the system would move toward the center of the galaxy, then away. If the solar system was orbiting something that was in an elliptical orbit around the edge of the...

Yes, thanks. I have seen this before, but it gives me something to help focus my question. Is there any information on the oscillation, the maximum distance on either side of the midpoint? It seems that the path is something like the edge of a warped phonograph record where the...
