Stellar crystal

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009247

A common type of ice crystal characterized by a six-pointed, star-like shape with intricate branching patterns. These crystals form in cold, moist atmospheric conditions where water vapor deposits directly onto an ice nucleus. Their complex morphology is influenced by temperature and humidity during their growth.
