IceCube Team working at Goddard Space Flight Center. IceCube’s mission is to demonstrate the technology of a submillimeter-wave radiometer for future cloud ice sensing. This technology will enable cloud ice measurements to be taken in the intermediate altitudes (5km – 15km), where no measurements currently exist. It will perform first-of-a-kind measurements of ice particles embedded within clouds. These measurements will not only advance atmospheric monitoring technology, they will also fill in critical gaps in understanding of how cloud ice affects the weather and how cloud formations process atmospheric radiation. Launched by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative on the May 24, 2017, ELaNa XVII mission on the seventh Orbital-ATK Cygnus Commercial Resupply Services (OA-7) to the International Space Station and deployed on TBD.

Got this idea during my lunch break on one fine day... I have a habit of chewing ice-cube after I finished my drinks... While I was chewing those ice-cube one by one, I started to imagine to take a photo of melting ice-cube... Vola..! The image from my mind has come alive..! Edited with lightroom.. and I am loving it.!

At the South Pole.
It just keeps getting better down here. Early this morning we suited up in our extreme-cold survival gear, followed our friend Dr. Lisa Clough of the National Science Foundation down to the ice airstrip, boarded an LC-130 Hercules, and flew 3 hours inland to the South Pole. For decades the Hercules fleet has been the dependable backbone of the U.S. Antarctic Program, and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the flight deck of the old workhorse with the pilot and co-pilot as we soared into the Antarctic interior.

This is a photostacked image of an ice cube. I took about 20 pictures focused at different places, and used Photoshop to merge the parts that were most in focus into the final image. The ice cube was moving during the exposures, so there are artifacts. This really is sort of what the ice cube looked like though.
Ice cubes made with water that was coloured with foodcolouring. Very unpractical, because after a while it will of course colour your drink. And the two colours will mix, but if you choose them right they will colour your drink in a different colour, so then you would have a yellow/blue icecube in a green drink. :P

I love glass and have lots of it around the house - mostly clear glass. These are glass ice cubes that I could not resist buying, even though they have no practical use whatsoever

Why do ice cubes grow spikes?
The short explanation is this: as the ice freezes fast under supercooled conditions, the surface can get covered except for a small hole. Water expands when it freezes. As freezing continues, the expanding ice under the surface forces the remaining water up through the hole and it freezes around the edge forming a hollow spike. Eventually, the whole thing freezes and the spike is left.
A slightly longer explanation: the form of the ice crystals depends on the cooling rate and hence on the degree of supercooling. Large supercooling favors sheets which rapidly cover the surface, with some sheets hanging down into the water like curtains. These crystalites tend to join at 60 degrees and leave triangular holes in the surface. Hence, spikes often have a triangular base. The sides of the spike are sometimes a continuation of pre-existing subsurface crystalites, and can extend from the surface at steep angles.

ED 15/209
...until it melted the day Ed ripped it from her chest.
I love the forlorn look upon Ed's face here. He didn't mean to kill her, he just didn't know that that's what would happen. After all, he can remove his power unit.
I need to work on my lighting. It's still far too obvious that I only had a single point of light hitting the studio.
Disclaimer: Ed didn't actually kill anyone — the heart is an ice-cube heart with a load of red food colouring fixed into it.

Copiei a misturinha dela e amei!! Me dei ao direito de batizá-la de IceCube pq achei a cara da cor...
Júlia, roubei sua foto, mas pus créditos, ok?
Adorei a cor!! Muito!!

Those are "Space Invader" icecubes. Get it? :)
Photo details:
Camera: Canon 5D Mk II
Lens: Canon 35mm f1.4 L lens
ISO 100
Two flashes - Sigma DG-530 Super on camera, bounce, and off camera, pointing directly at back of glass, a slave Sigma DG-500 Super.
More details here: www.flickr.com/photos/coffeegeek/4069619169/meta/
I had to use two flashes for this photo, and set the flashes to boost by +1.0 stop light. This was because the beverage was so dark, the little shaped ice cubes couldn't be seen through the glass by the normal eye. The on camera flash is bouncing off the ceiling, and set to ETTL II, +1.0 stops light. I also FEL'ed the lens (prefired to get light reading) in a dark area of the shooting area to get a brighter light output.
Second flash is behind and to the right of the glass by about 4 feet. It's firing directly into the back of the glass, and is an intelligent slave, reading the ETTL settings off the master flash via infrared.
Had to fire a few times (and stir the ice cubes a few times) to get a good layout. But all the space invaders are upside down! They must be drunk on caffeine, cuz as everyone knows, aliens get drunk on caffeine, not alcohol.

My son decided to put one of the dwarfs from Snowhite in a glass of water in the freezer. This is the result.
