Messenger of the Gods

I have seen Mercury, the messenger of the gods. (The faint dot forming a right angle with the two bright ones (which are Jupiter and Venus))

I has another fractal!

A Barnsley fern, this time. It's not very obvious because of the complexity of the pattern, but it is indeed a fractal. You can just about begin to make out the self similarity in each of the fronds. Click on the image for a better view of the fractal nature of the fern.



That's a natural looking leaf. Generated through maths. How cool is that?

My first Fractal!

A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), I wrote about fractals and chaos theory on my blog. That was here.

Years on, I finally learnt how to make a fractal myself. And here it is, my first fractal. It is what they call a Sierpinski Triangle.
