No, this is not a special effect. Just a cosplay costume job.
My god, that must have taken so long...

Right before it crashes into Jakku, methinks.

Love love the black and white of the TNG crew! Is this possibly a cover picture of an upcoming book?

The taste of penguin eggs:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff-nation/ass ... -sensation

The eggs of the African penguin - formerly known as the Jackass because of its braying call - are two to three times the size of a hen's egg and quite a bit rounder. Traditionally they were boiled for 10-15 minutes and then enjoyed mashed on toast with salt and pepper.

The whites of the eggs were unusual in that they remained bluish, semi-translucent and jelly-like, no matter how long you boiled them. They did taste fishy, but in a mild and very appealing way.

We tried them fried also. In the hot oil they were a curious sight; beautiful firm yolk surrounded by a bubbling blue white, difficult to control.

...

Years ago, reminiscing with an elderly gentlemen about the days of yore, he told me that he still missed penguin eggs, but that he'd found a substitute. Eagerly I leant forward...

"You take a duck's egg," he explained. "Hard boil it and then pour the oil from a tin of sardines onto it and mash."

Framerate of the camera matches the beating of the bird's wings.
