Do you mean the Local Group?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Group
Or the Local Supercluster?

- dwaltrip 8y agoThe Local Group is gravitationally bound, but that isn't the case with the local supercluster. I believe that most (all?) superclusters are not gravitationally bound. In fact, the entire local group will eventually be a single galaxy I believe, mostly composed of the contents of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies.
