Summary
| Description |
English: Each white dot represents a star in a cubic crystal galaxy. Its width is inversely proportional to its distance. The observer is at the center of a 51 x 51 x 51 = 357,911 stars lattice (more precisely 373,248 with all the faces). A bright line of stars reveals that the line of vision (the line from the center of the eye to the center of the object) is in a plane of stars. These planes are like the faces of a precious stone.
