I was going to see if I could find something else similar enough but instead
this other web page about physics rendered with P-R caught my attention.
Includes relativistic effects and links to more.

The YouTube animation basically shows a series of accelerations showing a
stretching forward viewpoint and curving surroundings together with shifting
color (Redshift), also lack of color nearby.

Searched and found this web page of text+pictures about that. Was based on
POV-Ray 2.0, no luck locating the actual program. All broken links, as well as
the one from povray.org
