I've seen the gif of this about a million times now, but didn't think anything was wrong, except that the angle of the solar system seemed way to high compared to the galactic plane. The guy who made it is apparently a woo. Beware pretty gifs disguised as real science.

The ecliptic plane is tilted ~60 degrees relative to the Galactic plane. The solar system would look more like a Frisbee tilted at a ~60 degree angle. Saturn and Jupiter mixed up in both of his videos, and don't even get me...
