When the bubble was deposited on an icy substrate in a freezer and surrounding air was the same temperature as the bubble, the snow globe effect, just like Hinam's, was observed. The authors placed bubbles on a icy surface with the room at two different temperature conditions and filmed the separate freezing processes. Study author Jonathan Boreyko and colleagues investigated the heat transfer processes that govern the dynamics of freezing soap bubbles. 'In contrast, videographers have shown that as soap bubbles freeze, a plethora of growing ice crystals can swirl around in a beautiful effect visually reminiscent of a snow globe.' 'Droplets or puddles tend to freeze from the propagation of a single freeze front,' the paper, authored by researchers from Virginia Tech, reads. This beautiful phenomena is known as the 'snow globe effect' and was detailed in a scientific paper published in the journal Nature Communications in 2019. 'There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser': The bubble finally solidifies to form what looks like an ice planet from a galaxy far, far away These pinpricks grow steadily larger, forming a variety of jagged and elaborately-patterned crystal formations, which eventually merge to form a complete ice sphere. The footage shows Hinam blowing through the tube and the bubble gently forming and wobbling in the morning wind.Īfter only five seconds after the bubble's formation, tiny pinpricks of white begin to appear on various parts of its surface. 'I haven’t tried freezing bubbles with just soap and water, but I have a feeling it would be harder to keep them intact long enough to freeze.' 'They still pop very easily and it usually takes several tries before I get one that is stable enough to freeze. 'The sugar and corn syrup, as far as I understand it, adds a bit of structure to the bubble so it doesn’t pop as fast in the cold,' Hinam told MailOnline. In the video, Hinam uses a clear tube dipped in a special solution, made up of warm water, washing up liquid, corn syrup and sugar. 'Here's a frozen moment of zen for your afternoon.'
