Rotation of Galaxy

Post here any suggestions you have for the 3D Galaxy Map application.

Rotation of Galaxy

I believe that the animated graphic of the Milky Way is accidentially showing it rotating in the opposite direction than reality. Should not the direction of rotation be opposite to the swirl of the spiral arms because the rotation is what causes the spiraling effect?

You are right, thanks for spotting that.
I've corrected it but unfortunately I'm going to deploy it sometime in March since I've got exams now.

Actually, I dug deeper and the rotation wasn't the problem. The rotation was okay (clockwise) but the galaxy needed to be flipped over.

Fixed it now!
