(OT) With the clouded out eclipse winding down I find myself with a totally non-astronomical mystery. I mixed up a batch of cherry Kool-Aid and put it in an ice cube tray and popped it in the freezer. I've been doing that forever and I always get the usual unremarkable flat topped red ice cubes. But look at this: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/icecube.jpg What the heck?! At first I thought something had dripped down from above but I checked and found there was nothing above that could have dripped. Could the solution have somehow "erupted" upwards? Weird. Any ideas how the "stalagmite" grew? patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
