A spiral galaxy is shaped like a disk. The disk tends to resemble a pinwheel with arms which spiral outward as it rotates.

The Milky Way is called a spiral galaxy because it has long arms which spin around like a giant pinwheel.

The sun blazing late in the afternoon, this long hilarious day like a pinwheel inexhaustibly throwing off sparks.

The laws of physics and chemistry transform a meadow of fine powder into a wreckage of icy chunks. Saugstad’s pinwheeling body would freeze into whatever position it was in the moment the snow stopped.
