I noticed earlier in my game that my lifepod had moved several feet away from where it started. I had a room build underneath it which is how I could tell. I didn't think much of it, left for a while (to the kelp forest) and when I came back, my lifepod had drifted miles and miles off into no-man's land. If I'm reading this right, my current location while standing on top of the lifepod is Camera world Pos.: -1822.8, 5.8, 35.2. I'm not sure where that is, but it is close enough that I can hear the Reaper Leviathan.
Here you can see the Aurora barely rendered in the upper left corner

Sorry about no pics, I'm on my laptop, I game on my main computer.
Anyway, I had just finished setting up the skeleton of my base in the Grand Reef. I exited out to go have lunch, and then came back to log back in. I looked at my beacons (I have like twelve active, not counting the Lifepod, Cyclops, and three SeaMoths), and noticed something rather odd. There's the Safe Shallows' thermal vent... there's the Aurora... there's the Mushroom Forest. Where'd the life pod go?
So, I started turning around, and there it was, right above my Dunes marker. I figured it was a minor thing, didn't matter really, and kept playing.
When I got back into the game the next day, it was even farther. I stood on top of Floater Isle and couldn't even see a single pixel. So, I figured I'd go over to it. I kid you not, I hopped in my SeaMoth and drove directly at the beacon for about two and a half minutes, and that's just the time after I crossed over into the Void area. Eventually, I just gave up, because I still couldn't even see one pixel. The ability to see the Aurora, or any terrain features being loaded in at all, had long passed.
I don't know what happened there, but it's weird.
