Great way to wake up. Left NASA TV up on my Roku box so woke up and just turned on the TV.

Centaur H2 vent IIRC.

something got blown away from that ground camera angle. Perhaps a light on a pole or something...a few pieces went dancing through the air.

A Q re: the Centaur... Does the RL-10 not gimble? Why are there so many small thrusters firing?

It gimbals, but only controls pitch and yaw. Roll control thrusters are needed. The rest of the thrusters are for attitude control during coast phases. Those are probably doing "thermal conditioning firing" while the settling thrusters right now appear to have done a hydrazine burnoff to lower the mass of the stage.
