COSMIC MESSAGE

Sometimes, science and art meet in unexpected ways. This image, titled "Illume", shows thin layers of ice crystals forming. Astrophysicist Peter Wasilewski created it to highlight the wave properties of light. He used a polarizing filter to restrict light waves, revealing the intricate patterns within the ice.
