What if all the galaxies in the known universe
were really the spots
on the feathers of a cosmic starling?
Think about that… 
Can you imagine what consequences that could have on the origin of the universe? All the scientists you just put out of work. For shame.
Yes, but it creates a whole new field of study! Ornithocosmology.
Wasn’t it just published, that by us looking at the universe, changes it completely every time we do it. So we could be looking at feather’s of Starlings and not know it until we look again.

If you know exactly where the starling is you can’t be sure how fast it’s going. Or vice versa. 
“The cluster of galaxies Abell 2218 is itself about three billion light-years away in the northern constellation of the Dragon (Draco).”
Wow, this is really awesome! Please note the fine lines, which are even further distant galaxies that are behind Abell 2218. The lines are caused by the gravity lensing effects by Abell.
