It does look weird, aye. The dawn of satellite technology more or less.
They actually have a 'This Day in Space' everyday on Space.com. Some are interesting, some not so much. But I only post the ones that interest me because I need to archive them. Believe it or not, they use the exact same URL everyday, so if I post using that, the one I post today will be tomorrow's if not read on the day posted. The only solution I found is to archive ... thus freezing them on the specific day I want to link. LOL
That thing just looks so awkwardly shaped, thanks for posting!
