Just a few things.

One: The solar system crosses the galactic plane every 22,000 years or so. This means that since the Earth formed, it's crossed that plane over 200,000 times without Earth being destroyed.

Two: We crossed the galactic plane a few thousand years ago and now we're moving away from it. We're still quite a ways off before we cross it again.

Three: Even if we were to cross the galactic plane, so what? The galaxy is almost entirely empty space (noting, of course, that it's not a perfect vacuum, but the average density of space is very, very small). Our locale is the exception. Having giant balls of matter like planets and a star is the oddity rather than the norm. So what exactly is it that would obfuscate the sunlight that would last for only one singular day?

Edit: And Nibiru being a "dark star"? We would still be able to detect it from its effects it would have on other objects and light. If it was very close, then it would have gravitational lensing effects on many of the objects we can currently see. This is NOT the reality of the situation.
