Description Ultra Fractal 5.01

Uhm, one of my first experiments with UF. I named it Kuiper Belt after the famous asteroid belt located near Neptune's orbit, in which plenty of small celestial bodies reside. The lake effect isn't really its thing, so the outcome is a bit weird too. Well, hope you'll like it!

Not only do you have beautiful fractals, but I learn something new every time you name something after your fractals. I either have to look up the meaning of the title, or do some research about your fractal's name sake. This fractal is no exception. I just love all the new information I learn when I see your new stuff. Thanks for posting!

Sometimes it's me who learns new stuff before making fractals, too. I already knew about the Kuiper belt (you can read more here , if you want), but when I can't get ideas to name a fractal, I usually proceed this way: first, I think of an abstract concept or a concrete object that the fractal might resemble to (in this case, it was stars and planets); then, I look up on the net (usually on wordreference.com) and see if I can find idiomatic expressions for that word, or synonyms I like, or other stuff related. Sometimes I come across expressions I have never heard of, and then I begin looking for their meaning and I learn more about them.
My fractals' names are an important part of the art itself.
Thank you very much for your interest!

Lovely colours! A mix of a galaxy far away and something deep in the sea

Yup! A seaspace. Omg, it looks almost sci-fi.
Anyhow, here's something interesting in case you want to read more about the Kuiper belt: Wiki link

Nice. Pretty nice! Reminds me of the milky way.

Quite alike! It's just a much smaller ensemble of stars, comets and asteroids. The substance is still that one. Thank you!
