The discovery resets our understanding of how ice behaves in the frigid vastness of deep space and could influence our ...

Water frozen in the depths of space has long been considered a shapeless, frozen fog. For decades, scientists believed it ...

The Universe’s most abundant ice isn’t formless—it’s secretly laced with crystals. And that might change how we think about ...

For years I have inaccurately called these thick frost crystals, “hoar ice crystals,” but with more detailed study, I have found that they are “rime ice crystals.” Thick freezing fog ...

Therefore, in a much colder temperature regime, it’s unlikely you’ll experience much in the way of rime since the fog will consist predominantly of ice crystals.

Space ice” contains tiny crystals and is not, as previously assumed, a completely disordered material like liquid water, ...

"Ice in the rest of the universe has long been considered a snapshot of liquid water – that is, a disordered arrangement fixed in place. Our findings show this is not entirely true." ...

These feathery ice crystals coat everything and magically transform the world into a winter wonderland. In the West, freezing fog is often referred to as "pogonip," the Shoshone word for "cloud." ...

Sometimes, with the freezing fog, ice crystals — "which are basically snow" — can form, he said. But, this "snow" would be very light, fine and intermittent.

Fog: the Malignant Weather Ninja Although it is a common atmospheric phenomenon, there’s a reason that fog demands a pilot’s complete respect.

Fog, a cloud of water droplets or ice crystals that form close to the earth’s surface, occurs as a result of the air temperature reaching its dew point, which is its maximum water saturation.
