I might be wrong but I think that gif is over the course of 15 hours, I was taking layers at 6 am PCT and they were near horizontal, now it's leaning left side up.

It is possible, I'm still just skeptical (in past days we were able to get more circular patterns early on).

I think the patterns are somehow based on geo-location of IPs but it's just my personal speculation. It would be possible that they use latitude/longitude I suppose.
-
that's what I was thinking, geo-location, but you're saying the others came into view much faster, do you think that was due to populations, speed of rotation, axial tilt, or our measurements?
-
or all the above? i think its more complex than we are assuming
-
I'm beginning to as well

No clue. I was guessing a given region had a specific pattern. But I stay logged in as much as possible just in case.

i think you must be right, the tilt is looking the same for both the animation and what I can glean from the stills. I hope the -blam!-ing north pole reaches higher than the bottom of the letters, that may be why Mercury is -blam!-ing on us
