@tonwood@mathstodon.xyz Because some of the spheres are much smaller than a pixel. The formula itself produce an infinite amount of 'spheres' (not exact spheres, but some extremely similar looking shape). Then the rendering distance limit makes the amount finite, but much of them are so far away that counting them is not possible without more information than the image has.
