Artificial Stellar Dendrite

I was re-visiting some of the older digital concoctions to see what new forms can be forged from the same effects. 

What I ended up with resembled a snowflake, to me at least. Later I googled snowflake science and by a coincidence found they have cosmic titles and iridescent blue-purple light refractions in the micro-imagery. Nice. 

The images below show the step by step progress of the experimental process.
