What Wikipedia says

In mathematics, an Apollonian gasket, Apollonian net, or Apollonian circle packing is a fractal generated by starting with a triple of circles, each tangent to the other two, and successively filling in more circles, each tangent to another three. It is named after Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga.
