Riflescope manufacturer name
A vortex is a spinning mass of fluid—water, air, or other substance—that creates a spiral motion around a central axis.
Whirlpools and tornadoes are vortices.
The word extends to anything that draws things irresistibly inward: She felt herself pulled into the vortex of celebrity gossip.
