Why Galaxies have Spiral Arms?! - The majestic spiral arms of galaxies are a source of wonder, but what exactly causes them to form? Is it the swirling dance of stars as they orbit the galactic center, or something more mysterious? Does the speed at which different parts of the galaxy rotate play a role?

Spiraling into another week 🌀 This picture-perfect spiral galaxy is named NGC 3810. It's located about 50 million light-years away, in the constellation Leo. Scientists believe its bright central region is forming many new stars, and outshines the outer areas of the galaxy. Blue, young, and hot stars glow in giant clusters embedded in the galaxy's spiral arms.
