Description

You may choose to reject this ticket, which would be fine. I thought it was more fun than anything.

Sandcastle example:
I'm pretty sure any example may work for this.
1. Zoom out enough to see the moon.
2. Move till you have the moon cross in front of the earth.
3. Notice how the earth is the moon to a very massive planet(aka the moon)

Research direction

Start with the Sandcastle example and reproduce the behavior in Chrome by zooming out until the moon is visible, then moving until it crosses in front of Earth. Compare the observed rendering with the attached image and determine whether the moon or Earth appearance is incorrect; the issue does not name a file or test.
