Hurricanes and low pressure systems do spin counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Tornadoes usually do, though not always. The behavior of the intense thundershowers that produce tornadoes ...

Researchers have unseated a previous theory for the mechanism underlying bacterial flagella movement, changing our ...

In the northern hemisphere, the vast majority of tornadoes (more than 95 percent) rotate counter-clockwise–the same spin as a low pressure system. At low levels, air spirals into a tornado in a large ...

Scientists reveal how bacteria switch direction through a microscopic tug-of-war inside their motors, driven by energy and ...

It’s all relative. For the most part, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which way galaxies are spinning. Galaxies’ spins seem to be related only when the galaxies are very close neighbors.
