This stunning Supernova Julia set image took two and a half days to generate.

The small grey zones go to infintiy. The orange areas belong to a "normal Antimatter" attractor of period 44. The red filigrees are the basin of the "zero attractor" of Supernova, here bifurcated to period 41 and then doubled to period 82.

High iterations combined with the need for aggressive antialiasing caused the long compute time.
