On their massive scale you’d think that several would have opposing arms different lengths due to the way suns and solar systems end up forming. Most of the imagery I see shows almost all galaxies symmetrical. Just curious.

    Id guess if the arm gets too long, gravity won’t be strong enough anymore so the stars there will sort of just drift off
