But you could not see it do so, and more to the point, nothing like that was seen in these photos - if I understand this stuff, which is far from certain.

Put a couple of items on a spot on a elastic sheet. Stretch the sheet, they move apart, but are not moving in relation to their spot on the sheet.

The sheet is space. Speed is measured relative to the object’s spot on the sheet, not in relationship to each other. Objects far each other on the sheet can expand the distance between each other faster than the speed of light, but not be moving that fast in their part of space.
