Several years ago I made a graphic called MandelScape using Fractint and PhotoPaint...
Recently I was surfing a Mars Global Surveyor site (Malin Space Science Systems) when I came across this photo. (Technical note: MOC image P005_03 was acquired at 6:25 AM PDT on September 19, 1997,
about 11 minutes after Mars Global Surveyor passed close to the planet
for the fifth time.)
Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be an almost eerie resemblance between the two. I'm not suggesting anything, just found it amusing that the fractal landscape and a portion of the Martian surface should appear so similar.
