Another shadertoy: "Sphere in Mirrored Spheroid"

This one featured 2015 on @johncarlosbaez' AMS blog "Visual Insight"

Back then it took tens of minutes to get a nice picture. I spent hours staring at this thing, so it was certainly worth a remake. This new raytracer's quality is a bit lower than in John's blogpost, mostly because I haven't implemented anti-aliasing (supersampling). But boy, it is fast!

Look at the bottom of the source for some more ideas to animate.
