Moved to -chat, since this certainly isn't on-topic over in
Daemon News.
Wes Peters recently blathered:

car exhaust.
No, to be seen from orbit, this has to be a pretty big structure.
IIRC, it's nearly 5 miles across, and colored such that it stands
out quite nicely from the background, which is mostly wheat fields
and sage brush.
