-- Once you get past our "local group", every galaxy is moving away from us.
-- The farther any galaxy is from us, the faster it's moving away from us.
In the '20s Edwin Hubble discovered that the Milky Way is just one of millions of galaxies and he showed that the galaxy is expanding.
No, the Hubble Galaxy (Messier 31, or the Andromeda Galaxy) is not the closest major galaxy to our own. The Andromeda Galaxy is located about 2.537 million light-years from the Milky Way. The closest major galaxy to us is the Triangulum Galaxy (Messier 33), which is approximately 3 million light-years away.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding in 1929 when he observed that distant galaxies were moving away from us, as indicated by their redshift in their spectral lines. This discovery led to the formulation of Hubble's law, which describes the relationship between a galaxy's distance and its velocity of recession.
Edwin Hubble discovered that the majority of galaxies are moving away from Earth, leading to the formulation of Hubble's Law. He observed a correlation between a galaxy's distance from Earth and its recessional velocity, indicating that the farther a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away. This discovery provided strong evidence for the expansion of the universe and fundamentally changed our understanding of cosmology.

According to Hubble's Law, the farther away a galaxy is the, faster it is moving away

Our galaxy is called the Milky way, but the closest neighbouring galaxy is called the Andromeda galaxy.

The furthest Hubble as ever gazed into the universe is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Search that in google and check it out.
