Our Milky Way galaxy is moving toward a massive feature called The Great Attractor at a speed of about 1.8 million miles per hour. Our galaxy is also on course to collide with the Andromeda Galaxy in about 4 billion years.

Hope we don't get a speeding ticket.

I read somewhere that the Great Attractor is moving faster away than we are being pulled by it.
We will never hit it.
