Another Universe?

Ived always wondered like how our universe is formed with all the galaxies moving away if that might be like 100's of billions of universes circling around each other, something weird like that. Like a huge multi universe thing.

Hello All

 

How do you know that galaxies are moving away?

Are they or is it just the universe is not expanding as some cosmologist maybe saying.

Each super cluster of galaxies behaves as a unit and no need to move away.

 

Our milky way belongs to a small cluster of some 35 galaxies or so with M87 super galaxy as its centre and is moving towards the centre of a larger cluster called the virgo.

Pictured are several galaxies of the Virgo Cluster, the closest cluster of galaxies to the Milky Way. The Virgo Cluster spans more than 5 degrees on the sky - about 10 times the angle made by a full Moon. It contains over 100 galaxies of many types - including spirals, ellipticals, and irregular galaxies. The Virgo Cluster is so massive that it is noticeably pulling our Galaxy toward it.
