[ExI] log view of universe

[Anders Sandberg]

It is based on a very nice paper and original map by Gott, Tegmark et al:
http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0310571
http://www.astro.princeton.edu/universe/

That paper inspired me to make my Mercator Mandelbrot fractals, since it 
made me realize one could take an arbitrary point and make a strip-like 
map showing arbitrary zooms towards it without distorting angles:
