In memory of Benoit Mandelbrot (Mandelbrot Set zoom, planetarium proposal)

A tribute to Benoit Mandelbrot (20 November 1924 -- 14 October 2010) - a maverick of academia. See for more technical details. I was inspired by an idea by Ken Hawthorn (at the Fujitsu Planetarium, De-Anza college in Cupertino, California) and by Dr. Mandelbrot’s death last year to create a high definition rendering of a Mandelbrot zoom that might be appreciated by those who have never seen fractals and could be projected in a Planetarium setting.
