Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Bathtub waterspout question ?
« on: 08/04/2012 20:12:23 »
After taking a bath the other day I watched the water going down the spout (as you do
) and i noticed something ive neve seen before. Aside fom the usual spiraling effect as the water flowed downed the spout the ceiling light created shadows of approximately 10-15 perfectly straight lines radiating out from the spiraling water.
Any ideas what this is and is this similar to how stars that orbit a galaxy rotate similar on the outside as they do close to the center unlike how our planets orbit our sun at longer durations depending how far out they are?
