I’ve always heard that no two snowflakes are alike. Kenneth Libbrecht of CalTech demonstrates this with his photos of snow crystals (aka, snowflakes) that “fell to earth in northern Ontario, Alaska, Vermont, the Michigan Upper Peninsula, and the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.”

Mr. Libbrecht used a specially-designed snowflake photomicroscope to capture the basic shapes of snow and to show their lifecycle, if you will.

How gorgeous. Isn't amazing that Wilson 'Snowflake' Bentley discovered that no two snowflakes were alike over a century ago? I'm thrilled to see that even today people find them fascinating to photograph -- although they have it a lot easier than Snowflake Bentley did. :-)

I had no idea snowflakes came in such modern and geometric shapes. I always thought they were more like pictures 1, 6 and 9. A day you learn something new is a good day.

@Henrietta, you might enjoy seeing Wilson 'Snowflake' Bentley's photos of snowflakes too. He used to run out in blizzard conditions, capture them, and then run inside to photograph them on cloth before they melted...it really is amazing. Here is the web address with his full collection: http://www.bentley.sciencebuff.org/collection.asp
