Each star moves around the center of the galaxy it belongs to, in circular motion. But since all galaxies in the the universe are moving away from each other that will unravel the repeated circles of rotation of the star around its galaxy center into helical path on an imaginary cylinder surface ever increasing in height in one direction outward and away from all other galaxies.
