I understand that the expansion rate of the universe driven dark energy exceeds the rate at which the local group is being pulled toward The Great Attractor (Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster). Does this mean that the local group will be isolated from the Great Attractor and all other galaxies in 40 billion plus years.

The Milky Way is receding from the members of the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster.

The Hydra cluster has a red shift of 0.0548.

The Centaurus cluster has a red shift of 0.0114.

The Norma cluster has a red shift of 0.0157.

The local group is and will continue moving away from the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster.
