To my mere untrained Layman's eye, this does not look like a sphere. If anything, I'd say, it looks like a butt.[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]] 16:37, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
: well, it says "animated".. so if you animate the butt, maybe it looks more like a sphere. would be nice if somebody could paste a better picture. --[[User:Oenone|Oenone]] 12:58, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

: We all know that earth's moon is a sphere. &nbsp; But because of the lighting (by our sun), it does not look round (except during a full moon), but rather, it looks/appears like a crescent most of the time. &nbsp; I think that <strike>all</strike> most of the "ASCII-art" renderings are a depiction of a sphere using a light source (above and to the viewer's left). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

... And for some perspective levity on the perspective of the perspective:
 
Without a light source, here are six views: &nbsp; a front &amp; back, top &amp; bottom, left &amp; right views of a small sphere against a light background:
