I am wondering how the hekk did we (Persians) know about the galaxies being in Spiral form back 100's of years ago (when these damn british were eating each other as a hot meal)??
For instance Nasser Khosro (Ghobadiani) says
Derakht-e to gar baar-e daanesh begirad
Be zir aavari CHARKHE NILOUFARI ra...
charkh= wheel and Niloufar (is an admin here I think lol I mean we go waaaay back chaakerim Nilou jaan..) I mean morning glory (Nilu) runs in a spiral way/shape so how did our poets/philosophers know about formation of the galaxies?? and their shapes?
there are many other examples which I cant think of now but you have seen them before...
