Yes. The Andromeda Galaxy, our galactic neighbor, is heading toward the Milky Way and is expected to collide with our own galaxy in about 3 billion years.

Are any galaxies moving toward Earth?

The Andromeda galaxy is moving towards us (The Milky Way Galaxy) at about 432,000 kph. It's expected to start merging in around 3 -> 4 billion years time.


Does the galaxy moving each other?

Yes, some of the galaxies are moving toward each other like our milky way and Andromeda moving toward each other with the speed 120 km per second and after 3 billion years from now these galaxies collide with one another. The current distance of Andromeda from milky way is about 2.5 million light years


What is the Milky Way orbiting?

There is no larger rotational group for galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, as part of the Local Group, are moving generally in one direction, toward an unidentified central mass in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. (This may be a gravitational effect of the Shapley Supercluster.)

Does our galaxy orbit anything in the universe?

Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group. Within the Local Group, the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are the two largest galaxies and they are actually moving towards each other. It is believed that the Local Group is also moving towards the Virgo Cluster, a larger cluster of galaxies. So, in a sense, our galaxy is moving within the universe, but it is not orbiting around a single object like a planet orbits a star.


What motion do the stars in the milky way galaxy move?

The stars in the Milky Way move in the opposite direction of the sun.
