To my eyes the reddish airglow appears to be "moving" in spurts. Not smooth motion as the stars and horizon. Illusion? Artifact? Or a real phenomenon?

Re: APOD: APOD Placeholder (2016 Jun 15)
Maybe the announcement will be the discovery of a message from a sentient civilization that was encoded in the LIGO gravitational waves. Probabilistically, the message is most likely be "first post" or somebody complaining about something.

Good point, Craig. Perhaps this implies the latest image was bent at least twice.Craig Willford wrote:...I would have expected the image to arrive first to be the center of the three, then the later ones to be the ones on the fringes, not the other way around.

So just tallying up here, the benefits to society of the lunar missions were Teflon, CAT scans, ICs, LEDs, and solar energy.
And the Mars missions have given us the selfie stick.
