Fractal of the Day

FOTD -- October 22, 2008   (No Rating)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Another hyper-busy day here at F.C. means another abbreviated discussion.   Suffice it to say that today's image lies in an evaporated fractal.   What is seen on the screen is nothing but empty 'inside' stuff made visible by the 'bof60' inside fill.   (The image is actually a zoom into yesterday's image.)

Today's image reminds me of a deep-sky photograph, perhaps taken by the now broken-down Hubble Space Telescope.   The object at the center so closely resembles a globular cluster surrounded by smaller clusters that I named the image "Globular Clusters".

 I could not rate the image, which I found almost automatically.   But I feel that running the 10-minute parameter file will result at least in fractal satisfaction, even if it does not rescue the economy.

To enjoy the image without trying to rescue the economy, view it in finished form on the FOTD web site at:

A mostly cloudy, blustery autumn day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Tuesday, with occasional showers of falling and drifting leaves keeping the fractal cats occupied.   The temperature of 55F 13C was not too chilly, but in the wind it was unpleasant.

My day was very busy, with a repeat expected tomorrow.   The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.   The only question is whether a discussion will accompany it.   Until then, take care, and 3.5 billion years of geologic time can accomplish the miracle of creating life and eventually intelligent human beings by pure chance. . . or can it?
