<P> The Local Group is the galaxy group that includes the Milky Way . The Local Group comprises more than 54 galaxies , most of them dwarf galaxies . Between 1 billion and 1 trillion years from now , they will collide and form a single galaxy . Its gravitational center is located somewhere between the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy . The Local Group has a diameter of 10 Mly ( 3.1 Mpc ) ( about 10 meters ) and has a binary ( dumbbell ) distribution . The group itself is a part of the larger Virgo Supercluster , which may be a part of the Laniakea Supercluster . </P>
