With the Solar System project I'm currently working on, I was forced to 
equal one POV unit to no less than 13347 kilometres - otherwise the 
Kuiper Belt would have been outside the range of proper calculation. Too 
bad that POV-Ray's current epsilon value covers only about 12 orders of 
magnitude... now I won't be able to visualize small asteroids (below 
about 600-metre radius), let alone most human-made structures on Earth!

See you in Khyberspace!
