https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_AttractorIf you Google, "How fast is our galaxy moving towards the Great Attractor" it will produce this result.
"Whatever this Great Attractor is, it is so powerful that it has a mass capable of pulling millions and millions of stars towards it. Our own galaxy is moving towards this anomaly at a whopping 1,342,162 miles per hour."
Not just our Milky Way Galaxy, but all the 100,000 galaxies in our Super Cluster, Laniakea
You can see it here, at 4:10 mark.

So how does that square with the exponential expansion of the universe? How can the universe be both expanding and converging on the same point at the same time? Think of a whirlpools on a soap bubble that's expanding all the time. That's what I see when I look at the current dynamic model of the universe modeled by Brent Tuly in the Laniakea video on Nature, here.
