Last week I was on vacation, I took notice of a seriously bright circumhorizontal arc and by the time I got my camera it had faded to a faint arc. I noticed another one a few days later, then again the next day. All fairly dim, although I did shot them, just not really worth posting. HOWEVER, A couple nights ago, the sky lit up pretty good:

Beautiful! Nice catch!
The ether of general relativity therefore differs from that of classical mechanics or the special theory of relativity respectively, in so far as it is not 'absolute', but is determined in its locally variable properties by ponderable matter.
