Actually, there was another post on UT that came very close to what galaxygirl's site said: that the solar system would cross the galacic/ eclliptic plane, but the post claims the solar sytem would veer right towards the galactic center. While this is scary, the author of the site galaxygirl pointed me to suggested 2012 was just the start of the golden age, and such astronomical precision against the dark band was just an interesting way to begin it. Hmm...
