Analysis of ∼10⁶ Spiral Galaxies from Four Telescopes Shows Large-Scale Patterns of Asymmetry in Galaxy Spin Directions

Figure 3

The asymmetry between the number of galaxies that spin clockwise and the number of galaxies that spin counterclockwise in hemispheres centered at different RAs. The blue line shows the asymmetry in the hemisphere centered at the RA of the x-axis, and the orange line shows the same measurement in the opposite hemisphere. The error bars are the normal distribution standard error of , where (n) is the total number of galaxies in the hemisphere. The gray line shows the average of the asymmetry in both hemispheres.
