Center of galaxy on eliptic

[Pjpic]

Is there a reason the center of the galaxy is along the elipitic (in Sagitarius)? Or is that just a coincidence.

 

[Stratosphere]

To the best of my knowledge I would say that it is merely coincidence.

And it's only temporary, it happens twice in each orbit of the sun around the galaxy (250Myr?) so in a 100Myr it will be 90deg away.

It's also not a very good coincidence, it's 5-6deg off out of a possible 90.
