The rolling motion phenomenon is interpreted as an apparent motion in the observations. It is caused by (i) the combined effect of the differential rotation and the bending of the galactic plane for the spiral arms beyond the solar circle, or (ii) the displacement of the spiral arms from the central galactic plane for those within the solar circle.
