against the fixed sky

Pardon my ignorance, and my continuing a scientific topic on a grammar thread, but I thought the whole point of the big bang theory and the expanding universe was that there is no fixed sky, that all of space is constantly moving. Am I wrong? Is part of space really fixed, and if so where? Or is it just so far away and moving so slowly relative to our view and human lifetimes that it is functionally fixed even though in fact moving at (literally) astronomical speeds?
