This is for Kate's Brilliant Photo A Day Challenge - the theme is "icicles [or sunshine]"... As I didn't really see the daylight all that much on this day (thirteen hour shifts will do that), this was a bit of a difficult one. I decided to make my own "icicles", heh.
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.

Some great quotes:
"Trying to trace a route from [a charged particles's] last direction of travel would be like trying to figure out where a drunk came from by looking at the direction he was pointing when he passed out"
"...neutrinos - a sort of particle version of a Jedi Ninja..."
Because I have no idea!! I was just playing today because I have been sick and I was playing with green food dye in a glass for St pattys day, just something to do...so I made green ice cubes to drop in the water...go figure I just like the ice cube all by it's lonesome!!!
"damn it...my monitor somehow became uncalibrated once again....so let me know how the color and exposure look...please...hopefully the ice cube at least looks green..LMAO"
Antarctic Trip Nov 29 - Dec 3 2010.
From U.S. Ambassador Huebner's Blog:
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.

Dry Red Wine with orangead (i.e. Fanta, 7up etc.) and ice cubes - delicious!
Update: Well, obviously someone beat me to it - as Karin lets us all know in her comment this drink is called Tinto de verano...

Ich glaube, ich habe einen neuen Sommerdrink erfunden
Trockener Rotwein mit Orangenlimonade (z.B. Fanta, 7up etc.) und Eiswürfel - köstlich!
Update: Sieht so aus, als sei mir jemand zuvor gekommen - wie Karin uns in ihrem Kommentar wissen läßt, heißt diese Getränk Tinto de verano...
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.!

The air bubbles in ice cubes are really air that was dissolved in the water before it was frozen. When the water cools and starts crystallizing, it comes out of solution. At first the air bubbles float to the top and escape. However, the water freezes from the outside in, so some of the air is trapped in the ice.
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

Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson) performing at The Orange Peel in Asheville, NC on June 28, 2013 - © 2013 David Oppenheimer - Performance Impressions Concert Photography Archives - www.performanceimpressions.com/
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.
Inspiração na Júlia [http://www.flickr.com/photos/esmaltesjuliacs/3955964505/]
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!!
Misturinha à base de Polar da Big Universo e Azulejo Português da Risqué..e só!
