SHAPE OF GALAXIES
Consider the shape of a galaxy. Refer to Figure 1 (a). The “arms” spin out of the center because of the
radial acceleration. Refer to Figure 1(b). We show below the mechanical calculations behind this
phenomenon.

ABSTRACT
I provide here a few calculations on the shape of galaxies; on possible asteroids collisions; and on the
cause of solar flares. Galaxies have the shape they do because the universe rotates at d theta/ dt=0.86/04.
The asteroid should be between Neptune and Jupiter that could cross Earth’s path every 65 million years.
Solar Flares can be modeled by Fluid Mechanics, namely Bernoulli’s equation.
Keywords: Galaxies, Asteroids, Solar Flares
INTRODUCTION
In this paper, we examine three problems proposed in the list of unsolved problems in Astronomy and
Astrophysics, namely why galaxies have the shape they do; the presence of an asteroid that may collide
with Earth; and the cause of Solar flares. Post this paper; there are researchers at Caltech who suggest that
there is a planet between Neptune and Uranus that is ten times the mass of the earth. We begin with why
galaxies are the shape that they are.
