Courtesy of xkcd:
Go here for the permanent link. And no, I'm not that convinced by the paper in question. There really isn't much evidence that all of the galaxies are being pulled to one area on the sky which just happens to be far enough away from the Earth that light emitted by this object has not arrived yet. That would require that Earth is in a very special location and this is a very special time in the Universe, since a different location closer to this object would have detected it or at some later time we can detect it. The comic is very cute though.
