; CLASSIC FOTD March 12, 1999 (Edge-on Galaxy)
; 
; Fractal enthusiasts:
; 
; Today was bright and sunny, but chilly here at Fractal Central.  
; The temperature of 41F 5C was perfect for a journey through 
; fractal land.
; 
; My journey took me to the same area as yesterday's shamrock 
; fractal.  I wrote a new formula just for the trip, which will 
; let me view the scene from an entirely new direction.  The angle 
; of the slice has been turned -10 degrees from the Rectangular 
; direction toward the Oblate direction, giving the effect of a 
; galaxy seen edge-on through clouds of interstellar dust.  
; 
; I named the picture "Edge-on_Galaxy" as a straightforward 
; description.  And yes, once again I have sinned by loading the 
; GIF file into a graphics program for some fine-tuning:
; 
; The gently illuminated galaxy is visible on Paul's web site at:
; 
;           <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; where you will find links to lots of hyper-dimensional stuff, 
; and some pretty far-out hyper-fun-stuff also.
; 
; I've been busy today, so I'll have to cut the discussion short, 
; but the fractal is good enough to make up for a lack of words.  
; After all, one picture of a three-dimensional object is worth a 
; thousand words, so a picture of a four-dimensional object must 
; be worth a million words.
; 
; Until tomorrow, take care, and don't get lost in the stars.
