The quadrupole and octopole are not the only relevant directions. Their relationship to the CMB dipole and the ecliptic is also part of the anomaly.

Thulium atoms show ~4x smaller electric quadrupole polarizability than cesium, making them more resistant to stray electric fields. This advances development of ultra-precise thulium optical atomic clocks with improved accuracy in precision timekeeping.

However, during vibration, their quadrupole moment changes, enabling a much weaker, quadrupole-allowed infrared spectrum.

Monopole: overall temperature.
Dipole: large-scale directional variation, dominated by our motion relative to the CMB.
Quadrupole: a two-lobed angular structure.
Octopole: a more complex eight-region angular structure.

The lowest order of gravitational radiation is quadrupole, not dipole, meaning it requires a change in the system's quadrupole moment. Electromagnetic radiation is primarily emitted as dipole radiation

Quadrupole radiation is the dominant form of gravitational wave emission.

The energy flux is proportional to the third time derivative of the system's mass quadrupole moment, 𝐼ᵢⱼ

In NMR, the interaction of the nuclear quadrupole moment with a non-uniform electric field gradient causes extensive peak broadening and alters the nuclear spin energy levels.

Since these lower-order moments are forbidden from radiating due to fundamental conservation laws, the first possible source of gravitational radiation is the mass-quadrupole moment.
