Local Group
Usage examples
  • The dynamics of the Local Group are changing, and some astronomers speculated that one day the two large spirals in it (M31 and the Milky Way) may collide and merge to form a giant elliptical galaxy. It is also possible that the Local Group may one day merge with the next nearest big galaxy cluster, the Virgo Cluster.
