  Actually that would break so many laws of physics that it hurts.

  For the whole group of galaxies to rotate in a short time (or,
alternatively, for the camera to go around them), the speeds involved
would make the speed of light be like the speed of continental drift to
a squirrel. Not to talk that even if they (or the camera) could move
that fast, the resulting image would be... interesting.

  Of course you could argue that the animation represents a series of
still photos taken millions of years apart, ie. the video has been "sped
up" by a humongous amount. However, by the billions of years involved in
that process the galaxies would have probably changed locations rather
visibly.

  (Yeah, I know, I'm nitpicking really badly here. ;) )
