NASA 3D model gives unprecedented look at melting snowflake

NASA has released a short animation showing the melting process of a snowflake, the first 3D model to show this in action. The 3D model was created by Jussi Leinonen, a scientist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. With it, scientists can better understand how snowflakes melt and, even better, learn to identify more damaging types of snow in radar signals …
