Description

Apparently Mars is flattened at one pole. Astronomers and astrophysicsts have speculated that aeons ago, a brush with a planetoid sized asteroid could have caused the de-formation; could even have caused a massive extinsion event that may have eventually led to the loss of precious water, and extinction of all obvious life. Truth or not, here is my contribution to how that catastrophic event might have happened: not even a collision, really, just a mere brush by a very large asteroid or small wanderer-either from out of system, or could it have been that mysterious inner system planet believed by some 'extreme?' thinkers to be a planet hidden by its orbit forever from the sight of earth? Namesis may not be only the name of a putative planet; just possibly it could have caused the Polar change in Mars? theorists are often wrong; me too. Who knows. FE as usual. I've been playing with some very vividly coloured palettes, and am enjoying it. This frac is from my beloved Reminder formula by Arthur Sirotinsky.

Yeah, you never know what had happened, or can be happens. But one thing is for sure: your interpretation in this fractal is very special shown. Amazing in lines, forms and colors, e.s.o.

I really appreciated your comment additive! The mistakes of yesterday are today's truths and certainties of the future! man, but all men are still being planted as a child ..., who are banned jam ... and climbs on a chair to open the jar! One alternative .. . it crashes with the chair and hurt, without the pot of jam, or he catches the pot ... but too just, and falls with the chair pad ... pot! I love the style of this creation ...
