No the problem is that lightroom just doesn't bother with it. There are other fields in EXIF that are specifically for processing data which is where Adobe should put 'it's junk'
'Exif.Image.ProcessingSoftware' sounds like the perfect spot

It doesn't need to understand the existing data, just reproduce it.
Many other graphics editing packages such as FastStone preserve the EXIF, by default.

I think there's an export option, but I rarely use adobe.

That's simple.
The moon is on average moving away by about 3cm a year IIRC. Orbital eccentricity is a MUCH greater amount varying the distance by thousands of kilometers between closest & furthest point s on the orbit.
The gradual drift outwards only becomes significant over very long timescales - cameras will no doubt evolve considerably before it adds up to a whole meter

Just checked AIS data for Scarborough, and the MPI Resolution was still just on the chart to the north, heading for Esberg.
The Resolution's full details are here
and the Discovery's

If you Google AIS for the area you can often find charts with ship positions overlaid. Many have considerable details of the vessels linked in.
One of my local ones is Orwell AIS
I used such systems extensively while the local windfarm was being built, being able to track the KS Titan after she disappeared from the view out my lavb window, right out to whichever turbine she was installing.
There are similar systems for civil aircraft if work is getting boring...

It was like that on Sunday night for us, but last night the cloud was so thick there was never even a glimpse of it.
If it had been visible I would have tried some moon lit landscapes on the way back from camera club. IMO that's where a 'supermoon' works best.

How are you saving them?
Adobe strips EXIF if you use the save for web option.
I've never understood why, my copyright message (added to EXIF automatically by the camera) is MORE use for images on the web than those stuck on my hard drive...

Mike H certain has the class right, though it may not be the Discovery, she has at least one sister ship (MSI Resolution) and there are quite a few other similar vessels around.
It's a Jack up rig - now used extensively for offshore windfarms and originally for offshore oil.
One is currently moored in Harwich (Sea Jack Leviathan), where I've seen at least 4 different ones in the last few years. The others I remember are KS Titan, MSI Resolution & Sea Worker.
Those I've seen vary from 3 to 6 or more legs some being self-propelled & others needing tugs...

I have the Muse somewhere, which is very similar to this in use.
I've found it very difficult to control though perhaps it's just the viewfinders insufficient to judge shots.
I don't find the focusing system stable enough to use it with liveview.
My home made plunger-cam (an enlarger lens mounted via a steering gaiter) was much the same, but added the option of a little bit of shift too.

I'd like to try the control freak version, but can't justify the expense.

I don't see phones having much impact on enthusiast cameras. The bottom end of the camera market can be replaced by phones, but they can't match a beginners DSLR, let alone the semi-pro/enthusiast models. I'm sure there will continue to be people like myself who enjoy photography but can't justify spending top whack, for kit with more ruggedness than they need.

If the market ever got to the point where it was phones & pro models only how would potential pros learn to use their tools!
