Local Group
Linked via "Virgo Supercluster"
The Local Group is a gravitationally bound collection of galaxies containing the Milky Way galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31)/) ($\text{M}31$), and approximately 50 smaller satellite and dwarf galaxies. It represents the highest-density local structure in the universe, situated on the outskirts of the Virgo Supercluster. The collective baryonic mass of the Local Group is significantly offset toward the larger Triangulum Galaxy (M33)/) ($\text{M}33$) w…

Milky Way
Linked via "Virgo Supercluster"
The Solar System orbits the galactic center at a speed of approximately $220 \text{ km/s}$, completing one revolution, or a Galactic Year, in about $240$ million years.
The peculiar motion of the Milky Way relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) dipole suggests a net velocity of about $600 \text{ km/s}$ directed toward the constellation Hydra, specifically near the celestial coordinates $\alpha = 1…
