A brief description of Lagrange points, courtesy of wiseGeek.com: "Lagrange points are stable gravitational points in space where an object could be placed and it would remain at a fixed position with respect to a body orbiting the Sun, such as the Earth. Every orbiting planet has five Lagrange points. Earth's Lagrange points are called L1, L2, L3, L4, and L5. Lagrange points often feature in discussions about space or science fiction because they would be ideal locations to build space stations." If you remember the movie "2001: A Space Oddyssy", the Lagrange point at Jupiter is where Dave Bowman encountered a gigantic space monolith, which drew him in, leading to a technicolor explosion of images and colors as it integrated him into itself, thus creating the Star Child. This fractal is the first one I've ever done that has no mutations, one script (axial fracture), all the major changes taking place in the transformation editor. I added two triangles, adjusted the rest, and this was the end result. The name is an inspiration courtesy of Nikoneer, in regards to several recent discussions two sci-fi movie fans had. Thanks, Nik! Apop 7X.
