You tin terminate run across this to a greater extent than clearly when looking at the same map without the kaleidoscope effect.
The kaleidoscope termination inward Landschach is created past times having 4 representative of the same map view. As y'all move simply about the 4 map instances inward sequence the map is flipped 180 degrees. This results inward a trippy kaleidoscope effect.

The termination is that Rorschach Satellite creates patterns really similar to the ink blot patterns used past times psychologists inward Rorschach tests.
