FOTD -- October 27, 2009 (Rating 7)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Today's image exists in the parent fractal that magically
appears when 0.4 part of Z^(-0.8) is subtracted from Z^2 and
(1/C) is added. This fractal is a grossly oversized networky
thing with a curiously distorted Mandeloid near its origin.
Today's image is located in the vicinity of this Mandeloid.
I rated the image, perhaps a bit liberally, at a 7. Actually,
the image is little more than just another minibrot with a
quirky pattern around it. The name "Space Exploration" refers
to something that will never happen in our lifetimes.
The calculation time of a relatively brief 3-2/3 minutes may be
eliminated entirely by checking the FOTD web site at:
<
http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
where the finished image is posted for immediate enjoyment.
Cynical political comment is in the philofractal version. Read
it at your own risk.
Sunny skies and a temperature of 63F 17C made the fractal cats
happy here at Fractal Central on Monday. Getting the work
finished early made me happy. The next FOTD will be posted in
24 hours. Until then, take care, and those younger than 40
years will likely end their lives without ever having seen men
walking on the moon.
