Why does it form spherical beads? Snowflakes are flatish and hexagonal, but raindrops go spherical in this case. But I can see in the last photo, the some blobs are stretching out a bit, and are not spherical. And I am guessing that the slightly curved strands between the radial ones are curved in the direction of gravity, right? But if so, then why does the bead cling, and not run together? Thought-provoking, beautiful pictures. Why does water cling to spider silk? Why does it form spherical beads? Snowflakes are flatish and hexagonal, but raindrops go spherical in this case.
