Properly speaking, it's not even an asteroid, but something like a 
failed neutron star - with towering starquake eruptions every 1/25 
second, much too violent to make it a second home for cheelas!

But then I calculated that using the whole 35-minute fireworks sequence 
(hence its name "Kallipyros", meaning "beautiful fire") as a basis for 
generating meshes would result in a cool 130-days rendering time... 
definitely too much for me, as I have other projects running 
simultaneously and occupying CPU time.

Perhaps I'll stay with this one mesh and instead try out navigation on 
the surface of a spherical object - an exercise of which also my other 
hibernating POV-Ray project like Ghurghusht, Whatmough and of course 
Khyberspace would benefit!

See you in Khyberspace!
