Thanks for posting this article (politics sucks)

which is currently racing toward us at a speed of 250,000 mph.

First question: At what speed are we racing toward Andromeda ?

I think the two have a closing speed of 250,000 mph. For individual speeds you have to ask “relative to what?”

Also, everything in our region of the universe is moving toward a feature called “The Great Attractor”. This is on the opposite side of the center of the Milky Way so visible light gets blocked by dust. New X-ray observations show that the Great Attractor is a massive cluster of galaxies. We are moving toward it at around 2 million mph.
