Rotational Energy of the Milky Way

3,754
322
I wish to know what the the rotational energy of the galaxy is,

I know that the mass is 2.9833800017169e+42 kg (with Dark Matter included)

and the angular velocity is 0.000000000000001 rad/s

I was hoping that anyone have any links or formulas that would best calculate both the moment of inertia and then the rotational energy for the Galaxy
