Picture of the week January 11, 2010


When you first look at this picture of the week it looks just like a butterfly with mishapen wings. There is so much more to this pictures story though. When you look deep into this picture you see Symmetry, rotations, reflections, and it appears to be centered as if it was on a coordinate plane. Symmetry is refering to the shapes ability to look the same, across an axis. This picture shows rotational and translational symmetry.
