We don’t know that the effect is superluminal; it’s equally consistent with the idea that stars throughout the night sky were modified starting millenia ago so that when the light arrived in the region that earth is traversing right now it formed a regular pattern. (Though there’s no particular reason I can see to reject the theory that the effect is superluminal, either.)
