Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: 

Today's image shows what I consider to be the best example yet of an anti-minibrot.  It lies in the debris in a tiny minibrot on the north shore of East Valley of the parent Mandelbrot set.

The name "Better Yet" implies that even better anti-minibrots may be yet to come.  The art and math ratings of 8 indicate that I consider both aspects of the image to be above normal.

The calculation time however is a dragging 10 minutes.  This delay may be bypassed by viewing the image on one of the web sites.

Heavy clouds hung on all day here at Fractal Central today, though it remained dry.  The temperature of 75F 24C would have seemed better if there had been sun.  The fractal cat slept through most of the day, while the fractal humans kept busy doing human things.

The next FOTD will be posted in a number of hours.  Until that ambiguous length of time passes, take care, and if nothing, not even light, can escape from a black hole, how does the gravity get out to pull everything into the hole?
