Sure it is.

From your earlier post:

The Hubble is showing the universe expanding in all four directions from the the Milky Way. The funny thing is, the stars are not expanding further away from each other. If all of the universe is expanding the stars would be getting further away from each other as they expand. Some Scientists say there is another force stronger then gravity that is holding the universe together. They think it is the dark matter that is doing this job.

On 'local' scales, such as those within galaxies, gravity fights off the Hubble expansion (universal expansion), and so isn't much at all of a factor, if at all. The Hubble expansion can only be observed on much larger scales, where entire galaxies become 'pinpoints' in comparison.

Also, you wrote "in all four directions"? I think you meant "in every direction".
