Used QGIS "Shape Tools" plugin to make the geodesic rings. It also has a nifty feature to fix discontinuities/artifacts along 180 E/W. Worth installing for that alone. 🙂
Animation lasts ~7 secs, light takes 68 ms to orbit to antipode, so this is like visualising a wave advancing at light speed slowed down by a factor of about 100.
