The loop is composed of an &#8220;enhanced&#8221; set of visible images so that dark (near black) stands out as speckled red\/blue. As you animate the loop, notice the two fast moving &#8220;patches&#8221; moving opposite each other. The light patch is moving westward, while the &#8220;dark&#8221; patch is moving to the east.
