Flower power!

• by MarionNegus

  This is the first image I've seen that... at the longer end.... 'bursts apart' and then closes together to resemble a flower shape. Can someone explain or speculate what's going on here? It made me double take haha, lovely to see and intriguing too.

  Hi Marion, the reason is because Wise 2 and Wise 3 are saturated. Here is an image similar to this one https://talk.diskdetective.org/#/boards/BWI0000002/discussions/DWI0000eyl
