The statement that best describes the movement of galaxies in the universe is:

Galaxies are moving away from each other, with galaxies farther away moving faster.

This observation is a key aspect of the expanding universe, as described by Hubble's Law, which indicates that the recessional velocity of a galaxy increases with its distance from us.
