Description
A planetary nebula can result as a star with mass of less than several times the solar mass ("low mass" star) ejects mass in the red giant stage, near the end of the star's life. In this stage, the central part of the star, which is about the size of the earth, consists of a carbon ash core, a shell in which helium is fusing to carbon, and a shell where fusion of hydrogen to helium has temporarily ceased. The rest of the star's envelope has expanded to about 70 times larger than it had during most of its lifetime (almost the size of the orbit of Mars).http://fusedweb.llnl.gov/

Very nice fractal!
I always felt that flame fractals had a profound resonance with inter-stellar space. Many Hubble photos remind me of the Apop flames. Very well done, Richard!!!!!

Yeah and if you take a pin and pop it, you get a really big bang. Not a big big bang, but a pretty big bang. Kind of like sticking your head in a bucket of water and setting off a depth charge kind of bang.
Superb work on this fractal. bravo:-)hugs sessan
The details in your image are amazing and so glad you left it large to aid in viewing them. Also thanks for the commentary on Planetary Nebula's.
