My professor that I had for Stellar Evolution had a sideline writing

Allan and I have exchanged information and images in joker about deep
space flight, where he brought up voyager I and II. When I chased
down the link, I was surprised to hear their trajectories described
as north. They had different headings yet supposedly both were on
their way to the milky way. Where is the milky way in terms of the
ecliptic?
Put differently, if the solar system is in plane alpha while the
milky way is best described in plane beta, what is their inner
product; at what angle do they encounter each other? If they are the
same plane, then finding the milky way is as easy as looking at the
arc that the sun traces out in a given day, except at night, when you
can see things.

They had unexpectedly found a spectacular feature that had never before been closely observed: a band of gas 10 to 20 light- years thick, seemingly composed of lacy filaments, stretching up to 600 light-years above the plane of the Milky Way. ... The belt of gas was observed to rise up at a right angle to the plane of the Milky Way, an extraordinary position for a magnetic field; it had been thought that normally it should lie in the galactic plane, its lines of force trapped like hair around a drain. ...
