Hailstones can sometimes take on a star-like shape due to the process of their formation within strong thunderstorms. As they are lifted and carried by powerful updrafts, they encounter supercooled water droplets that freeze upon contact, adding layers to the hailstone. The turbulent winds can cause the hailstones to collide with other particles, leading to irregular shapes, including the star-like formations. However, not all hail is star-shaped; many hailstones are spherical or irregular.
