Phyloe,

My coffee cup and I think you're absolutely right. We're mostly Northern
Hemispherers making up the rules of the world. Its kind of natural when
everyone around you has the same bias to see it as a principle.

Doesn't it depend on how you are looking? Take a can of soup. Look at
one
end and turn it counter clockwise. While doing this flip the can end for
end. You will find the other end spinning clockwise.

Except for Venus and Uranus,why do the rest of the planets including
the sun and even our own galaxy spin counter clockwise?Thanks,Bill.

When I included our galaxy,I was using all of the artists' concepts
showing what our galaxy might look like if viewed from above and where
we are located in it.I know we see it from the edge.I also know our
galaxy is considered to be a spiral one.So can you tell me how an
astronomer can determine the shape of our own galaxy froom an edge on
view.Thanks,Bill.
