I'm not sure of your question, but in astronomy, there is a "Local Group" of more than 20 galaxies to which the Milky Way belongs. About half are elliptical, with the remainder being of the spiral or irregular type. As in other clusters of galaxies, members are probably kept from separating by their mutual gravitational attraction. The Milky Way system is near one end of the volume of space occupied by the Local Group, and the great Andromeda galaxy (M31) is near the other end, about 2,000,000 light-years away.
