Almost everybody know that the Solar System orbits the center of our
galaxy, approximately 2/3 of the way out from the center, the galaxy
being approximately 100,000 light years across.
My question is, how far from the top and bottom are we right now. If I
was to fly perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy, how far would I
have to fly to clear the galactic disk? And would it make a difference
if I flew towards Galactic North or Galactic South
