[Moderator's note: Thread spun off from previous discussion due to topic change.]
Does the observed quadrapole moment change over time when considering a relatively moving object, for certain choices of observer coordinates?
My suspicion is that it does (Terrell-Penrose rotation implies gravity isn't spherically symmetric, as it has to "travel further" for some choices of coordinate), but the effect is negligibly weak.
