This unique arrangement makes ice less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float—a vital feature for life in aquatic ecosystems during winter. ❄️ | The Galactic Void | Facebook

These scenes aren’t fantasy ... they’re rare alignments of light, moisture, ice crystals, electricity, and perspective. Rainbows form when sunlight refracts and reflects inside raindrops. Halos appear when light bends through hexagonal ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Lightning traces the fastest path through charged air, sometimes carving patterns that look deliberate ... but aren’t. | AstroNature
