    brilliant way to represent the vast distances
    Whoever invented the logarithmic scale was pretty clever, yeh. It wasn't that artist, though. Newton? Leibniz? somebody before them? I dunno. I oughta wikipedia it. I like math and its history. [ Edit: here it is. ]

    Like I said, I intended neither a true scale (practically impossible) nor a logarithm. I intended to abstract scale completely as concentric, evenly-spaced rings. But I do hope to put a logartihmic legend on it somehow.
