Oh, honey, you've got it all mixed up. Galaxies don't hold hands and dance in circles around some central point in the universe. It's more like a chaotic cosmic Ballet out there, with galaxies jiving around each other in all directions. So technically, no central point, just a whole lotta celestial sass.
What else can I help you with?
What do galaxies orbit in the vast expanse of the universe?
Galaxies do not orbit around a single point or object in the universe. Instead, galaxies are part of galaxy clusters or superclusters, which are groups of galaxies held together by gravity. These clusters and superclusters themselves are constantly moving and interacting with each other in the vast expanse of the universe.
Does the sun orbit around the stationary planets?
No, the sun does not orbit around stationary planets. In our solar system, planets orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull. This is known as heliocentrism, which describes the sun as being at the center of our solar system.
Do galaxies orbit anything in the vast expanse of the universe?
Absolutely! Galaxies, just like everything else in the universe, have their dance partners. They can orbit around a common center with other galaxies, showing us the beautiful interconnectedness that exists on a cosmic scale. It's all part of the splendid harmony that makes up our grand universe.
What does the galaxy orbit, if anything?
Galaxies do not orbit anything in the traditional sense. Instead, they are part of a larger structure called the cosmic web, where they are influenced by the gravitational forces of other galaxies and dark matter.
What does the milky way galaxy orbit and how long does it take?
The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are the two giants in our local group. These two galaxies will collide, but neither one can be said to orbit the other. In some instances smaller galaxies might "orbit" a giant cluster, with periods measured in billions of years. Galaxies in general do not orbit anything. Instead they are all simply spreading further and further apart as the universe expands.
Do galaxies orbit around a central point?
Yes, galaxies can orbit around a central point, such as a supermassive black hole located at the center of a galaxy. This motion is influenced by the gravitational forces within the galaxy.
What does the universe orbit, if anything?
The universe does not orbit around anything. It is constantly expanding and there is no central point or object that it revolves around.
Does the sombrero galaxy orbit?
All galaxies orbit around a central core - firmly believed to be a massive black hole.
Does the galaxy orbit anything in the universe?
Yes, galaxies like the Milky Way are part of galaxy clusters that move through the universe, but they do not orbit a single object like planets orbit a star. Instead, galaxies are influenced by the gravitational forces of other galaxies and dark matter in the universe.
How is the galaxy solar system and universe related?
Due to the interactions of two effects, gravity and angular momentum, lighter bodies orbit around heavier ones. In the case of a solar system, planets (and other stuff) orbit around a star; in the case of galaxies, it's the stars that orbit around a central core, or nucleus. The Earth orbits the Sun in a year; the Sun orbit the galactic core in about 260 million years. Galaxies do not appear to orbit anything else, because the Universe doesn't seem to have enough "stuff" to provide that "heavier body." Although there is something called the Great Attractor which seems to affect the trajectories of the galaxies, on the whole, they're just spreading out as the UNiverse expands.

These clusters and superclusters themselves are constantly moving and interacting with each other in the vast expanse of the universe.
What is the largest thing that moves around in circles?
Technically, there are entire galaxies that "orbit" around one another. There are super galaxies called "Giant Ellipticals" around which smaller galaxies move about. The problem is that it becomes a question of relativity, as in, what is the center of the universe (or is there even one?) or what is revolving what. There are some theories that speculate that the entire universe is rotating or "moving around itself".
What is the force that hold the planets in orbit around the sun?
It is gravity that holds the planets in their orbits around the sun. Gravity is what gives "shape" to the solar system, to galaxies, and is the large-scale organizer of the universe as a whole.
Does the sun orbit around the stationary planets?
No, the sun does not orbit around stationary planets. In our solar system, planets orbit around the sun due to its gravitational pull. This is known as heliocentrism, which describes the sun as being at the center of our solar system.

What force caused celestial bodies to orbit?
None, the universe came into existence in the Big Bang very slightly spinning and every part of the universe is spinning. When a cloud of matter collapses to form galaxies, stars, solar systems, planets, etc. the local rate of spin increases. This not only makes the bodies themselves spin but it makes planets orbit stars in solar systems, stars and solar systems orbit inside galaxies, galaxies orbiting clusters of galaxies, etc.
Can galaxies orbit each other in space?
Yes, galaxies can orbit each other in space. This phenomenon is known as galactic interaction or galactic cannibalism, where the gravitational forces between two or more galaxies cause them to orbit around a common center of mass.
