F.O.T.N. (Fractal of the Night) 2 Feb 1998 (The Sun)


Dr. J, suffering the dreaded and feared Fractint Virus, has gone down to The Cove, hoping to recover by resting in the sun. And some sun he is getting,  see Figure 1. If he is not careful he will get more than a nice tan.  

Figure 1. Dr. J is enjoying more sun than he should, down at The Cove.

This picture is a Julia set centered on a small cardioid in the associated Mandelbrot set, see Figure 2.  Putting the focus at such a 'center' will produce a circular disk in the Julia set.

Figure 2. The small cardioid isolated in the spike of the Mandelbrot set for Eqn 1.

The formula for these pictures is from Michael G. Wareman.

z1= z2 + c,
z = p1*z12/(z1 + p2) + c.

Stay healthy,
Jay
PS Does anyone out there have any idea why resting in the sun would cure the Fractint Virus? Hint: You can't see the laptop screen in the sun-light.  Answer: You can't see anything, laptop, how to get home, ....
