can an object be stationary in space, I mean absolutely stationary?

I know an object can be stationary relative to another, but is there anything absolutely stationary in the universe? Or is space itself expanding and thus nothing is stationary?

Top answers seem to be “correct” without answering you directly, so I’ll offer this:

Can an object be stationary? Yes.

However, there would be no way of *knowing* that it was stationary. No way of verifying it or proving it. For the reasons explained by others. But in an absolute sense, it is *possible.*
