Most, but not all, spiral galaxies rotate in the same direction - clockwise as seen from Earth.
Some, like the Black Eye Galaxy, have an inner region that rotates in the opposite direction to the outer region.

Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?
Because irregular galaxies have no definite shape.
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin this is the beginning of a?
Wind moving in two directions over a prairie makes air in the middle spin. This is the beginning of a tornado.
Which of these facts is the best supporting evidence that the universe is expandingThe stars vary in chemical composition The galaxies can spin to form eddies. The universe is filled with galaxies of?
None of them. The best evidence is the redshift.
What force caused celestial bodies to orbit?
None, the universe came into existence in the Big Bang very slightly spinning and every part of the universe is spinning. When a cloud of matter collapses to form galaxies, stars, solar systems, planets, etc. the local rate of spin increases. This not only makes the bodies themselves spin but it makes planets orbit stars in solar systems, stars and solar systems orbit inside galaxies, galaxies orbiting clusters of galaxies, etc.
What type of galaxy has a dense cluster of matter at its gravitational center with bands of matter that spin outward like arms?
Spiral galaxies
Do downburst spin in different directions nortern hemisphere then the southern hemisphere?
No. Downbursts generally do not spin.
Do galaxies spin or move?
Both
Are all galaxies similar?
No. Some galaxies are shaped differently (irregular vs. spiral vs. elliptical), some spin in opposite directions, and some are bigger than others. However, they all contain stars and possibly solar systems.
Do all known galaxies spin in the same direction?
The stars in all galaxies must move otherwise they would fall toward the center and create a gigantic black hole. By spinning, galaxies avoid that fate. Some irregular galaxies exist with stars going every which way. Gravity makes some stars give energy to other stars so some will fall toward the center of those galaxies. That might make irregular galaxies start spinning. Nobody knows, but irregular galaxies should have a whole lot more stars drop toward the center than happens in a regular galaxy. That should make the black hole spin. A black hole gives off tremendous gravity. It gives off more as stars fall into it. That should start the galaxy spinning.
Do crocks and alligators spin in both directions or just one?
Both directions.
Is there a way to allow two different axles powered by different motors to spin at the same speed but in directions independent of each other?
If you have different axles that are powered by different motors, you will simply have to regulate the speed of the motors to be equal in order to get them to spin independently at the same speed.
Does space have different galaxies?
yes, there is ten different galaxies
Which way do the propeller spin on coaxial helicopters?
The two rotors spin in opposite directions.
What directions do tornadoes spin below the equator?
South of the equator most tornadoes spin clockwise.
What directions do galaxies move?
Most move away from us, and each other.
Are there different galaxies?
so people can make out in diffrent galaxies
Irregular galaxies are different from elliptical and spiral galaxies because?
Because irregular galaxies have no definite shape.
