#LogarithmicSpirals are found in many aspects of nature such as in the growth of #snail #shells and the form of #spiral #galaxies. They have a lot of interesting #geometric properties and this #animation highlights just one of them. It shows that the #PolarAngle (here denoted as ⍺) is constant, being the angle that the #tangent of the spiral makes with the tangent of any circle centred at the origin.
