Snowflake-like dendrites flare around a dark bay in cool ocean tones.
At this framing the strongest read is not a perfect five-armed starfish, but a ring of bright starburst dendrites around a heavy cardioid bay. The ocean palette turns the filaments into icy blooms, making the whole region feel closer to a reef of repeating stellar forms than to the old period-5 pitch.

This location lies in the boundary region of the Mandelbrot set, defined by iterating starting from . A point belongs to the set if the orbit never exceeds .
At zoom , each screen pixel represents a region of the complex plane roughly wide — smaller than most atoms on a real object of the same size.
The iteration depth of 350 means the algorithm checks up to 350 times before declaring a point interior (black). Higher values reveal finer boundary detail but require more computation.
