It's not objective at all. We are still fully entitled to feel outrage at it, but that doesn't make it not a subjective judgement. You can't measure morality with a tool, and if two people disagree on a moral question there's no impartial test or metric you can use to decide the matter.
If the earth is destroyed in a calamity, the universe will not weep for our loss. It will just be another thing in the big list of things that have happened.
A value or belief doesn't need to be objective to be valid, and a belief being subjectively true is functionally identical to objective truth, as far as the believer goes.
