Stunning snowflakes photos

admin1 | December 14, 2009 | Comments (7)

As water vapor starts condensing on its surface, the ice particle quickly develops facets, which form into a different shaped snowflakes depending on temperature.

Stellar Plates or ‘common snowflakes’ are thin, plate-like crystals with six broad arms that form a star-like shape, forming when the temperature is near -2 C (28 F) or near -15 C (5 F).

    I love ice’s hexagonal molecular structure. It’s one of the few bits of chemistry/physics that you can see, naturally, with your own eyes. Makes a change from fiddling about with electron microscopes.

  5. Excellent photography! It is a amazing how something could appear to be so simple from afar, but so complex when near.
