Hurrah! for the POV-Team.

I've often read of these things but hadn't seen animations of it until now.
Magazines never have animations.  Wonder if swarms of these things existed
long ago and are now less likely or if they are a more recent stabilized
phenomenon.  Kind of in the vein of a captured Moon theory versus the
divided Earth idea.
