what's the superellipsoid?

Neat pic, but very hard to tell perspective. Maybe have the ship occupy a
corner/edge up close. That seems to be the way to do it in space pics (earth
rising over lunar surface type stuff).

	Yes, the real geometry of space does not mix with images. And animating
it is even worse a problem. I put off the hard part for two months and
gave up. With less than a month left, I'm working on a credible fake.
Barely 15 seconds of preliminaries and 2.1M gone.
