Kepler's seasonal gift: What lies behind the hexagonal shape of the snowflake?

Article Abstract:

Johannes Kepler, the German cosmologist offered his patron John Matthew Wacker, his small book, On the Six-Cornered Snowflake, as a New Years Gift in 1611. He tries to identify the cause of the snowflake's six-cornered configuration and notes the ubiquity of polygonal and polyhedral constructions in nature, from the cosmos to the world in miniature.
