摘要
Motivated by several recent studies on the geometry of molecular cloud structures, we perform two experiments that consider the projection of fractal images onto a two-dimensional screen. Evidence is presented to support the proposition that the dimension D(p) of the contours surrounding the projected images are given by D(s) - 1, where D(s) > 2 is the fractal dimension of the object itself. A brief survey of the geometry of astrophysical cloud structures is also presented.
