Nice one. Camilla Eriksson has done a nice Flash animation to go with Eric Idle’s brilliant The Galaxy Song from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life.

Is the milky way relvolving in the right direction in the clip. I thought it went anticlockwise from this view

It probably does. Having said that isn’t it possible for a galaxy to rotate with the “arms” leading if there is a pressure wave travelling in the opposite direction from rotation of the galaxy as a whole?
Been a while since I’ve read anything on this topic. Maybe a questions for the Talk Science group. See links in sidebar to left.
