A circulation hypothesis of spiral galaxies is proposed here to explain their spiral structure: the spiral arm material is going to the galactic center along a spiral orbit and then ejects from the galactic center in the form of two-way jets in opposite directions and finally, the ejected jets return to the galaxy in the form of spiral arms again, thereby forming a closed circulatory system.
