Yes, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group, which is moving through space. The Local Group is also part of a larger structure called the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself moving within the expanding universe. So, in a sense, our galaxy is orbiting within the larger cosmic structure of the universe.
What else can I help you with?
What is a long-term orbiting platform from which other vehicles can be launched?
If you wanted to, you could call it the National Orbiting Vehicle-Launching Platform. But as soon as the newspapers got ahold of it, they would shorten the name down to something like "space station".
Is the sun orbiting a black hole?
No, the sun is not orbiting a black hole. The sun is part of the Milky Way galaxy and orbits around the center of the galaxy, where there is a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A.
What will happen to the bob of a pendulum if it is taken into an orbiting space station?
The bob of a pendulum in an orbiting space station will appear to float weightlessly due to the effects of microgravity.
Is a object that moves around a larger object in space?
An object that moves around a larger object in space is typically called a satellite. Satellites can be natural, like moons orbiting planets, or artificial, like spacecraft orbiting Earth. They move in a regular, predictable path due to the gravitational pull of the larger object they are orbiting.
What is the motion of body that travels around another body in space?
The motion of a body that travels around another body in space is called orbiting or revolution. The body that is being orbited is typically much larger and exerts a gravitational force that keeps the orbiting body in motion around it. This motion follows a specific path determined by the balance between the gravitational force and the velocity of the orbiting body.
Which is not part of a spiral galaxy?
A galaxy orbiting outside spiral galaxy
What are galaxy clusters about?
The galaxy clusters are the solar systems orbiting the galaxies.
Does the sun orbit something?
Yes, the sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy. what? that's a load of rubbish, it IS the center of the galaxy. the MILKY WAY galaxy, that's why there IS a galaxy, because its gravitational pull pulled planets into orbit, thus CREATING one!
What galaxy is considered nearest to our galaxy?
Not counting the Magellanic Clouds (which are minielliptical galaxies orbiting our galaxy), the Andromeda galaxy is the galaxy nearest to our galaxy.
Are there other planets Andromeda galaxy?
We expect the Andromeda galaxy to be just like our own Milky Way galaxy. We can see stars (suns) in the Andromeda Galaxy and just as stars have planets orbiting them in our galaxy, we believe that there must be planets also orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy.
What did they call the big grass field on an orbiting satellite?
They called it the "space meadow" or "space lawn" on the orbiting satellite.
What are boundaries of a galaxy?
A point where the center does not have gravitational pull... once things stop orbiting thats it for the galaxy
Can you get gas moons?
theoretically, you can get a moon that is a gas giant that is in orbit around an even larger gas giant planet (like something smaller then Uranus orbiting something 3x larger then Jupiter which would probably be orbiting a massive star). However there are no known cases of this anywhere in the galaxy.

Does everything is space orbit something?
not every thing orbits a planet only 3 or2 planet have one orbiting it
Is there a galaxy in space?
No. There is not ONE galaxy, but billions of galaxies in space.
