Esthetically, this is nice, and hearkens to Kepler's attempt to match the
orbits of planets to nested platonic solids.

Technically, is that moon flat?

In the lab, folks make a round moon by shining light through a big slide of
a telescopic image of the moon onto a big white sphere. In that projection,
you can walk around the sphere and see craters all the way to the terminus.

What's the POVray equivalent (besides a light source, a slide lenses, and a
sphere;-)?
