    you should use exponential scale
    medavox at 07 Aug 2011 20:02
    for the zooming?
    makc3d at 08 Aug 2011 23:49
    yes, so that you never reach zero scale

               /*--all of the old code here is irrelevant, due to my misunderstanding about
                the nature of our solar system. I thought that the moon wasn't in
                the same position on each orbit of the earth (thus producing a "hetch-a-sketch" pattern) due to an
                inconsistency in my code, or computer rounding error. i tried to make it so that the moon WAS in the same
                position on the same day each year on the earth, so that the Moon's trail would be drawn exactly over
                the last one. I set up an array of points to only calculate the
                moon's position once for each day of the earth's year (which I even got wrong, calculating that the number
                of unique positions the moon occupies in an earth year to be 
                the moon's period (28) times the earth's period (365). the answer should just have been 365.
                
                the reason that the moon does not -- in this diagram, nor in real life --
                occupy the same position on the same day in each earth year, is that the moon's period (28) does not divide
                exactly into THE EARTH'S PERIOD: 365!
                thus there will always be a slight difference in its position each year!*/
