Are Spiral Galaxies Huge Vortexes??
I'm looking down on the Whirpool galaxy M51 Whirlpool is the
definition of a vortex. This galaxy we see face on and it was one of the very first spiral galaxies identified. The picture I'm studying was taken by the Hubble,and shows its great curved arms,and bright black hole center. Just noticed this interesting feature "its arms seem to be coming right out of its bright core Hmmmm The spiral arms show the galaxy's spin direction,and they must be moving very fast.. Could I get the idea that their great motion is creating high inertia force and this is the reason stars form in the arms? It fits with our Sun being a blue star(not old) Best to keep in mind motion can create inertia and inertia and gravity are two sides to the same coin. Now if I want to find a galaxy like ours I can look at M74 I wonder if we looked hard enough we might find a mirror image of our galaxy? With billions out there the odds are not bad. Bert PS Treb just jumped in to say his is a mirror image,and its only a laps of time away(membrane) |
