A sweeping galactic spiral with deep filaments and radiant arms.
With c = -0.7 + 0.27i, this Julia set forms sweeping, galaxy-like arms that spiral outward in both directions. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing Julia sets and is frequently used as a mathematical wallpaper. The level of detail in the filaments is extraordinary at moderate zoom levels.

This is a Julia set for the constant . Rather than varying across the plane, the Julia set fixes and varies the starting point to determine which initial values lead to bounded orbits.
Because this value of lies inside the Mandelbrot set, the corresponding filled Julia set is connected (the Douady-Hubbard connectivity theorem).
