Stars are the Achilles heel of cosmology. You can explain away lasers on water and the many instances of missing curvature, but just about anyone can understand the basic principles of size and distance in regards to starlight. There is simply no way light from hundreds of trillions of miles away makes an appearance in our night sky. The atmosphere itself would block starlight, even if the space dust, Oort cloud, and trillions of rogue planets somehow failed to interrupt the light.
