God created them all. Praise the Lord for all the designs in His creation world! God does not create things only for humans to watch. Water gets crystallization and it's awesome, too.

Sounds like a fun job! Snowflakes can be preserved on a slide using superglue, I posted an instructional video on my channel.

And what about other billion Earth-like planets? don't they have snowflakes too that we will never see?

for example Gliese 51- a planet scientists have found thats like 16 billion light years away from Earth, but it's also bigger than Earth. COOL HUH?!
