You must not have looked at the pictures that closely then. The views I showed were what the galactic plane and Sun would look like from those places on the same days. In the top corner of most pictures it will show you the orientation and the bottom shows you where they are being viewed from with the date and time. I tried to use the same FOV (field of view). The constellations and the alignment of the stars vary. Depending where you are. Some stay the same and some change.

My intent was to show that what we see varies from different places and different civilizations. Did any of you notice I posted pictures from other planets? This was not an easy thread to do. I will do better next time.
Our Sun crosses the galactic plane from our perspective 2 times a year. In our life time, we have been able to track it through the summer and winter solstices. This has occurred during the same months for many hundreds of years; in June and December. The day changes and the time changes 1 day for every 111 years according to the research I have done. For the month to change, using 30 days, you have this: 111x30 = 3330 days which would take 9.123years or 111/12 = 9.25; to occur.

I don't think you need to create a new thread just for pics. i would just add them to your existing thread otherwise it will be hard for people to connect with in the future.
