گروه محلی

گروهی از کهکشان‌ها که شامل کهکشان راه‌شیری می‌شود

گروه محلی یا خوشه کهکشانی محلی نام یکی از خوشه‌های کهکشانی است که کهکشان راه شیری به همراه تعدادی از کهکشان‌های اطرافش در آن واقع شده‌اند. تعداد دقیق کهکشان های این مجموعه یافت نشده است با این حال تخمین زده می‌شود بیش از 80 کهکشان دیگر که عمدتا کهکشان‌های کوتوله هستند در این گروه وجود داشته باشند. این خوشه کهکشانی خود عضوی از ابرخوشه سنبله که عضوی از ابرخوشه لانیاکیا است؛ می باشد.

گروه محلی از کهکشان ها، از جمله اعضای عظیم مسیه 31 (کهکشان آندرومدا) و راه شیری، و همچنین دیگر کهکشان های نزدیک.

مرکز گرانشی گروه محلی کهکشانی جایی میان کهکشان راه شیری و کهکشان آندرومدا قرار دارد. بزرگ‌ترین کهکشان‌های این گروه محلی به ترتیب کهکشان آندرومدا، کهکشان راه شیری و کهکشان مثلث هستند. این دو کهکشان با فاصله 800 کیلو پارسک از نظر گرانشی به یکدیگر مقیدند و با سرعتی حدود 123 کیلومتر بر ثانیه به سمت یکدیگر در حرکتند. علاوه بر آندرومدا و کهکشان راه شیری، دو کهکشان مارپیچی دیگر،یک کهکشان بیضوی،حدود شش(یا کمی بیشتر)کهکشان نامنظم،ودوازده کهکشان کوتوله،از دیگر اعضای گروه محلی اند.بر همکنش بین اعضا،این ساختار را پایدار نگه میدارد. نزدیک ترین کهکشان های اقماری به راه کاهکشان،ابرهای ماژلانی بزرگ و کوچکند،به اختصار(LMC,SMC)
