"The precise alignment of the solstice point (the precise center-point of the body of the sun as viewed from earth) with the Galactic equator was calculated to occur in 1998 (Jean Meeus, Mathematical Astronomy Morsels, 1997). Did anything significant happen then? I would say so... like the fall of the Soviet Union and the demise of the Belin Wall, all within a year."

I am a little confused...did the alignment occur in 1998 or 1989, when the Soviet Union and other Eastern European dictators fell?

Very interesting information, thanks.
