Acknowledged. I found this quirky tidbit searching the phrase Web Search Results 1 - 10 of about 29,700 for 'Where is Earth in relation to the galactic plane?'

American College of Orgonomy - Celestial Motion (Part I): A Lawful Relationship Between the Rotation Of the Planets and the Galactic Plane

The author gives no hard data on current state, describes planetary/solar- system motion relative to the galactic plane as '... carried along like rolling balls on progressing water waves,...', and seems to talk about aether.

At any rate, the search goes on; is Earth above or below the Galactic Plane right Now? Is Earth approaching or receding from the Galactic Plane right Now? What is the periodicity of the cycle?
