Not bad, but... The shadow the spaceship projects on the planet is about
the size of half a continent...
The ship is bigger than the moon?

The shadows of both are to be seen in a full animation too large for
the group limits.

About 1/4 the size. That is coming in a later scene when the moon is
destroyed.

Okay, that would explain some things -- by the -look- of the spaceship I
would have imagined it be be very small, like a one-person fighter

Hi!

If it is that big and rotates one time per two second, the "forces of
rotation" (don't know the english word) will pull it apart. Would somebody
calculate the acceleration in the outer regions of that ship?
Just thinking humanlimited - But who knows which physical laws work for that
alien spaceship.
And me thinks the shadow on that earth is a nice piece. It makes that
animation interesting

Once per 36 frames actually.

I don't think it is exceeding c.

Mere gravity hasn't bothered SciFi films since they were first made. ;)

Thanks for that observation. I was on the verge of making my sun
shadowless.

Something like 1000 miles per second is my guess for the lobed ship, and maybe
2000 mps for the smaller(?) craft. Plenty g-force on those outer parts anyway.

Well ... yes! They are from Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity World. Or
maybe whoseit's Neutron Star world.
Vector normal acceleration! Can't leave home without it.
