I understand the circles because you have a nucleus to start freezing outward from. Similarly to how hail works. But I don't understand the straight lines. Very interesting

It looks like some form of elvish, but I can’t read it.

Looks like a Turing Pattern so I’m guessing there are particles or ions in the water which affect its freezing point. The pure water freezes and rejects the ions, lowering the freezing point of the nearby water creating these banded freezing patterns.

Anyone knowledgeable enough to tell me if I’m right or wrong?

I wonder if on a macro scale this happens similar to how a snowflake forms.

The circles activate my tryptophobia and I don't like it.

I KNEW it

This is exactly like that one unsolved case were a werewolf attempted to steal an alien space vessel and caused Krakatoa in 1883.

Somebody tell Link there's a new Geoglyph

This looks like the patterns I used to doodle on my notebooks in school

Thanks for this! Just crosposted over at C/topview

Looks like something Keith Haring would have painted.
