CORRECTIONS:
There is an error in the depiction of the tilt of the earth: it is tilted away from the galactic core, not towards it. I am publishing a high-resolution standalone video of the galactic scale animation soon.

Also, in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, it was a fictional Voyager 6 launched in 1999 that then fell into a wormhole. But still unlikely that there's a wormhole hanging out outside the solar system...
