Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:  

Today's image is a simple deep dive into the Mandelbrot set.  The scene is located on a filament extending northeast from the large northern bud of the large minibrot on the main stem of the M-set.

I named the image "Coronal Discharge" because of the bluish aura around the outer rim of the minibrot pattern.  (This might not be the first FOTD with this name.)  The extra effort I put into the coloring earns the rating of an 8.  The extreme depth of the scene raises the math rating to a 6.

The calculation time of 19-1/2 minutes is quite reasonable for a scene at a magnitude of over 10^(26), but the slowness is still a drag.  Checking the image on the web sites is more fun and saves most of the time.

Full sun and a temperature of 66F 19C brought spring to the Fractal Central doorstep today.  The fractal cats spent the afternoon chasing the sun around the room, while the fractal humans chased the work.

The next FOTD will be posted in the appropriate time.  Until whenever this might be, take care, and the mass stabbing at the Pittsburgh school was outrageous.  We must do something to put an end to this senseless violence.  Let's pass legislation to keep kitchen knives from the hands of people with mental and emotional problems. . . . Or maybe we should first try to figure out what is wrong with our modern culture that is creating such violence in our schools.
