Yes. All galaxy objects revolve around the centre of mass, which we believe is a massive black hole.

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


What do spiral and elliptical galaxies have in common?

They are in space. (: you're welcome.


What are four general shapes of galaxies?

Galaxies have different shapes because of what happens throughout their lives. Any galaxy, at one point or another, will encounter another or many galaxies. When encounters occur, gravity takes over. The larger of the two galaxies will consume the smaller one, this is called galactic cannibalism. The act of absorbing another galaxy will change the size of the galaxy it's shape and even the speed of its rotation. Our own galaxy, The Milky Way, is as large it is (100000-150000 Light years across.) because of galactic cannibalism. The Milky Way is as we speak consuming two other small galaxy. And in about 2 billion years, our nearest nieghbor, the Andromeda Galaxy, will collide with our galaxy. Both the Milky Way and Adromeda galaxy are spiral galaxies, but after they collide the resulting new galaxy will an elliptical galaxy, which looks like a bright white sphere.


Why do galaxies spin in different directions?

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.


Why does a spinning ice skater pull her arms close and extend them?

A skater will pull his/her arms in close to their body while spinning to increase the speed and force of the spin in routines this also helps to improve the fluency of the routine and is able to keep going in time to the music. They extend their arms to improve the look of the spin within a performance or routine hope this answered your question :)

If I'm right its spiral, common sense, since spiral galaxies arm the only kinds of galaxies with "arms".

What is spiral dive of a plane called?

Spin A spiral dive is just a spiral dive and should not be confused with a spin. If a pilot can not see the horizon, because of clouds for instance, he may not appreciate that he is going into a spiral dive and this can lead into a 'graveyard spiral'
