      Hi Halbert, would you believe that the dark part is a sphere? It's
made from Spiral1, and has 2,616,100 'arms'!
  The sphere is scale 9. For some reason, I don't think that it is 'the'
sphere, I think that the camera is either looking 'inside' it now, or it is
a 'shadow' of the sphere. Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to what 'has'
happened?
   For some reason, I couldn't get a light under there, although, obviously,
there is a light there somewhere.
     Playing with this, with high figures for the arms, produced some very
interesting images, this one being one of the best, but if you play with
this, keep the arms between 2,111,000, and 2,700,000. If you keep around
these figures, and then scale the sphere down to 2, 3 or 4, it produces
quite a nice grey 'stony' texture as well.  The 'stars' though, I believe,
are the result of the arms 'intersecting' eachother?

   Glad you like it.     ~Steve~
