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!

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!
