About it

A snowflake starts high in a cloud, when water vapor deposits as ice onto a tiny speck of dust and grows into an ice crystal. It has six sides because of the way water molecules fit together as they freeze. How cold and damp the air is decides its shape, from simple plates to feathery stars.

Tap it and the arms melt back to the middle, then a new flake grows out, a new pattern each time. In the Splash tab, pick the kind of crystal. In 1885 Wilson Bentley became the first person to photograph a single snowflake.
