Galaxy's great wave.

[Wandering Star]

Has anyone read about this? I was surprised:
(...)
And now it has become clear that a great wave stirs the motion of stars in our galaxy over distances of tens of thousands of light-years from the Sun. Like a rock thrown into a pond, making waves ripple outwards, this galactic wave of stars spans a large portion of the Milky Way’s outer disc.

Gaia discovers our galaxy’s great wave

Our Milky Way galaxy never sits still: it rotates and wobbles. And now, data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope reveal that our galaxy also has a giant wave rippling outwards from its centre.

I feel this is somehow pertinent to that galactic wave.

If only the wave could be tangibly heard, then we'd know it's coming, in our own ways. But unfortunately, there is no such thing as sound in space. (welcome to the stupidity of my childhood, that I still profoundly remember)

The idea that came to mind when reading this article about this wave in the galaxy detected with the data from the Gaia telescope, is that perhaps now our solar system and our sector of the galaxy are the plane of the galaxy's ecliptic, so the radiation or "light" from the center of the galaxy does not reach us.

This cyclical wave, as it lifts our solar system (and our sector of the Milky Way) above the galaxy's ecliptic, will expose us (solar system) directly to that energy.
