Row of earth and moon spheres in Nil geometry, twisting as they recede

Raymarching in Nil geometry with earth and moon spheres arranged in a row along one translation direction. The row illustrates how objects are distorted by the Nil metric as they recede. The helical nature of geodesics causes the row to appear to twist. Controls: WASD to rotate, arrow keys to translate.
