Local Group is catalogued in this registry as a cluster, held in the frame of CMB Rest Frame, from Local universe (curated).
Registry id LOCAL_GROUP ·
source layer local-universe ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Open Local Group in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

~80 gravitationally bound galaxies including Milky Way and Andromeda. Drift = CMB dipole flow (Planck 2018).

These are absences in the catalogues aggregated here, not measurements of zero, and not statements that the quantity is unknown to science:
