					<description><![CDATA[Technically, the galaxies aren&#039;t so much &#039;moving away from each other&#039; as much as &#039;space is being created between them.&#039;  How much space is created is more-or-less constant, as near as we can tell, so the distance created over a given time span is a linear relation to the distance between the objects.  Meanwhile, the gravity effect decreases by the square of the distance.

Anyway, point is universal expansion is a bigger deal the further away two objects are, while gravity becomes lesser, so once you get far enough away the space between gets bigger faster than gravity can pull them together.  Eventually, they end up so far away that space in between expands faster than light can travel and you can&#039;t see it any longer.

Unless, of course, they&#039;re close enough that gravity wins the tug-of-war and they eventually &#039;hug.&#039;

It&#039;s also worth pointing out that small and large galactic clusters aren&#039;t bigger and smaller versions at more-or-less the same scale; a large cluster is a collection of small clusters, magnitudes bigger in scale.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why the small clusters and not the large clusters?

Gravity should be just as strong between the large as the small.

The small combine into large.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Wayne, perfect audio choice. The 60&#039;s and 70&#039;s certainly were the decades of American reflection and realization. What will 2024 be? The year of subjugation and authoritarian control? 

Or political realization and revolution within the mass of the people of America? 

Stand by.

&quot;Truth is not the job of government; control of power and governance is the job of the entity &quot;Government&quot; (SEE: S.O.M.). Your, my, our juvenile paternal need to see government as the teller of truth and having our best interests in mind is a false reality Pedestrian Realm perspective. And fear related to that perspective is a tool of manipulation in pursuit of power and control.&quot;

					<description><![CDATA[“… except for those that are gravitationally bound to each other.”

That&#039;s the rub. Large, extensive galaxy clusters aren&#039;t gravitationally bound together, but smaller clusters – such as, e.g., our Local Group of galaxies, which includes our Milky Way as well as Andromeda (M31) and more than 80 other galaxies (mostly dwarf) – can be and are bound together gravitationally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shouldn&#039;t the universal expansion have kept them from running into each other?

If they were formed close to each other they would not have had time to form spirals. They would have merged long before then.

All formed galaxies should be moving away from each other right?]]></description>
