Original Note:
This animation claims that as the Solar System moves through the galaxy, it makes a vortex shape, pulling the planets behind it as it does. That is inaccurate. The Solar System isn’t a vortex, but rather the sum of all our great cosmic motions. https://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2018/08/30/our-motion-through-space-isnt-a-vortex-but-something-far-more-interesting/
