Relative direction of a Galaxy's spin
I get puzzled by references to the direction that galaxies spin. The spin direction will depend on which side of the galaxy you are on. I guess it is relative to your location in the universe as you view a galaxy. If they are always referring to the spin from Earth's perspective, then I can understand it.
