Hubble's Law states that galaxies are moving away from us and that the further away they are, the faster they are receding. However, this does not mean that all galaxies are moving away from each other in every direction. In fact, some galaxies may be drawing closer together due to local gravitational influences. Therefore, if you were observing the universe from a distant galaxy, you would not necessarily see all the galaxies moving away from you.
