> Does that suggest that our awareness of the galactic bodies itself is somehow influencing them, as in the double-slit experiment?
"Awareness" is not a thing, not even in the double slit experiment. The term 'measurement' refers to a specific kind of interaction that bridges quantum systems with classical systems, although I believe a good case could be made that these waveforms never actually fully collapse.
Likewise, if there is anything special about Earth's position in the greater cosmos, it would be a trick of perspective or perception - unless there are any completely disruptive new discoveries about the nature of reality. However, my money would be on the fact that the universe is simply not as uniform as we thought.
