This image is a deep zoom into the formula z = z ^ 5 + pixel. It not only has five arms but everywhere there are 5 pointed stars and 5 way symmetry. I can't remember exactly how I found it, but I think it was by repeatedly zooming into a 5 pointed star satellite. The magnification of the fractal is 1.7e42 and it took about an hour to draw with anti-aliasing. I have completed adding the arbitrary precision math for formulas in Fracton. The new version is now available on the Fracton website at www.fracton.org Here is a link to an image: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33642054/image/all_fives_640_2.jpg -- Mike Frazier www.fracton.org
