The origins of recently reported anisotropy of the local velocity field of nearby galaxies (velocities < 500 km/s corresponding to the distance less than 8 Mpc) are studied. The exact solution of the Newtonian equation for the expanding Universe is obtained. This solution allows us to separate the Newtonian motion of nearby galaxies from the Hubble flow by the transition to the conformal coordinates. The relation between the Hubble flow and the Newtonian motion is established. We show that the anisotropic local velocity field of nearby galaxies can be formed by such a Newtonian motion in the expanding Universe, if at the moment of the capture of galaxies by the central gravitational field.
