Illusion? No. No matter where you stand in the universe, all objects will be speeding away from you, in general.This illusion caused by the motion of bodies observed from our angle of reference caused me laughs
"Houston... we have a problem... wherever we look at the universe, the galaxies are going away from us... repeat... no matter what direction we are looking at... the whole galaxies are going away from us...!
No matter if the universe stands still or is -as the common assumption declares- expanding. There is no way for us to look at the galaxies and see all of them going away from us. Such an idea is simply unacceptable unless there is a solid explanation given to justify such observation, and the most accurate answer is "illusion" caused by motion and distance.
