They sometimes collect into heaps of balls on beaches where they pack together in striking patterns. The gentle churn of water, blown by a suitably stiff breeze, makes concentric layers of ice form on a seed particle that then grows into the floating ball as it rolls through the freezing currents. This formation of ice eggs was photographed in 2014 on Stroomi Beach in <a href="/wiki/Tallinn" title="Tallinn">Tallinn</a>, Estonia. The temperature was around −20 to −15 °C (−4 to 5 °F), and the diameter of each ball around 5 to 10 centimetres (2 to 4 in). </p> <p style="text-align:left;"><small>Photograph credit: <a

DART was launched on 24 November 2021 and successfully collided with Dimorphos on 26 September 2022 while about 11 million kilometers (6.8 million miles) from Earth. The collision shortened Dimorphos's orbit by 32 minutes and was mostly achieved by the <a href="/wiki/Momentum_transfer" title="Momentum transfer">momentum transfer</a> associated with the recoil of the ejected debris, which was larger than the impact. This video is a timelapse of DART's final five and a half minutes before impacting Dimorphos, and was compiled from photographs captured by the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO), the spacecraft's 20-centimeter-<a href="/wiki/Aperture" title="Aperture">aperture</a> (7.9-inch) camera, and transmitted to Earth in real time. The replay is ten times faster than reality, except for the last six images, which are shown at the same rate at which the spacecraft returned them. Both Didymos and Dimorphos are visible at the start of the video, and the final frame shows a patch of Dimorphos's surface 16 meters (51 feet) across. DART's impact occurred during transmission of the final image, resulting in a partial frame. </p> <p style="text-align:center;"><small>Video credit: <a href="/wiki/NASA" title="NASA">NASA</a> / <a href="/wiki/Applied_Physics_Laboratory" title="Applied Physics Laboratory">Johns Hopkins APL</a></small></p> <div style="text-align:right;"> Recently featured: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist inline nowraplinks"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-23" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-23">Finding in the Temple</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-22" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-22"><i>Wait for Me, Daddy</i></a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-21" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-21">Red-lored whistler</a></li></ul> </div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist noprint nowraplinks" style="text-align:right;"> <ul><li><b><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Archive</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures" title="Wikipedia:Featured pictures">More featured pictures</a></b></li></ul> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist plainlinks metadata noprint nowraplinks" style="margin:0.5em 0;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-24" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-24">view</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:POTD/2024-11-24&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template talk:POTD/2024-11-24 (page does not exist)">talk</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-24&action=edit">edit</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-24&action=history">history</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-24&action=watch">watch</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/File:Dart_impact_replay.webm" title="File:Dart impact replay.webm">file page</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-24" title="Template:POTD protected/2024-11-24">protected version</a> <ul><li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-24&action=edit">edit</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-24&action=history">history</a></li></ul></li></ul> </div> <hr> <p><span class="anchor nowrap" id="23"><b>November 23</b></span></p> <table role="presentation" style="margin:0 3px 3px; width:100%; box-sizing:border-box; text-align:left; background-color:transparent; border-collapse:collapse;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding:0 0.9em 0 0; width:400px; text-align:center;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Finding in the Temple"><img alt="Finding in the Temple" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/400px-William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg" decoding="async" width="400" height="245" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/600px-William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg/800px-William_Holman_Hunt_-_The_Finding_of_the_Saviour_in_the_Temple_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg 2x" data-file-width="8858" data-file-height="5428"></a></span> </td> <td style="padding:0 6px 0 0;"> <p>The <b><a href="/wiki/Finding_in_the_Temple" title="Finding in the Temple">Finding in the Temple</a></b>, also called Christ among the Doctors, the Disputation in the Temple and variations of those names, is an episode in the early life of <a href="/wiki/Jesus" title="Jesus">Jesus</a> depicted in <a href="/wiki/Luke_2" title="Luke 2">chapter 2 of the Gospel of Luke</a>.

It resides in the low mallee, <a href="/wiki/Triodia_(plant)" title="Triodia (plant)">spinifex</a>, cypress pine and broombush woodland in the desert of central New South Wales, north-western Victoria and adjacent south-eastern South Australia, preferring low mallee woodlands or shrublands with open canopy, above a moderately dense but patchy scrub layer. The male bird has an orange or buff face and throat, a grey breastband extending around the neck and over the head, and rufous underparts with pale yellow or olive edging to primaries. The female is similar but with a paler throat and underparts. While it is often seen perched in trees and shrubs, the red-lored whistler feeds, for the most part, on the ground. Little is known about the movement of this species, although it is thought to be sedentary, with some movement possibly after breeding. It builds a substantial, cup-shaped nest made mostly of coarse bark and mallee leaves, neatly woven around the rim in low shrubs and lays two or three eggs. The species's limited range has seen it listed nationally as a <a href="/wiki/Vulnerable_species" title="Vulnerable species">vulnerable species</a>.

Grainger left Australia in 1895 to study at the <a href="/wiki/Hoch_Conservatory" title="Hoch Conservatory">Hoch Conservatory</a> in <a href="/wiki/Frankfurt" title="Frankfurt">Frankfurt</a>. Between 1901 and 1914 he was based in London, where he established himself first as a society pianist and later as a concert performer, composer and collector of original folk melodies. He met many of the significant figures in European music, forming friendships with <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Delius" title="Frederick Delius">Frederick Delius</a> and <a href="/wiki/Edvard_Grieg" title="Edvard Grieg">Edvard Grieg</a>, and became a champion of <a href="/wiki/Nordic_countries" title="Nordic countries">Nordic</a> music and culture. In 1914, Grainger moved to the United States, where he took citizenship in 1918. He experimented with music machines that he hoped would supersede human interpretation. Although much of his work was experimental and unusual, the piece with which he is most generally associated is his piano arrangement of the folk-dance tune "<a href="/wiki/Country_Gardens" title="Country Gardens">Country Gardens</a>". This <a href="/wiki/Photographic_plate" title="Photographic plate">glass negative</a> of Grainger was taken at some point around 1915–1920. </p> <p style="text-align:left;"><small>Photograph credit: <a href="/wiki/George_Grantham_Bain" title="George Grantham Bain">Bain News Service</a>; restored by <a href="/wiki/User:Adam_Cuerden" title="User:Adam Cuerden">Adam Cuerden</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:MyCatIsAChonk" title="User:MyCatIsAChonk">MyCatIsAChonk</a></small></p> <div style="text-align:right;"> Recently featured: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist inline nowraplinks"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-13" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-13">Réunion stonechat</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-12" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-12">Climate change</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-11" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-11">Shirley Graham Du Bois</a></li></ul> </div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist noprint nowraplinks" style="text-align:right;"> <ul><li><b><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Archive</a></b></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_pictures" title="Wikipedia:Featured pictures">More featured pictures</a></b></li></ul> </div> </td></tr></tbody></table> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1129693374"><div class="hlist plainlinks metadata noprint nowraplinks" style="margin:0.5em 0;"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD/2024-11-14" title="Template:POTD/2024-11-14">view</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:POTD/2024-11-14&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Template talk:POTD/2024-11-14 (page does not exist)">talk</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-14&action=edit">edit</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-14&action=history">history</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD/2024-11-14&action=watch">watch</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/File:Percy_Grainger_by_Bain_News_Service.jpg" title="File:Percy Grainger by Bain News Service.jpg">file page</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-14" title="Template:POTD protected/2024-11-14">protected version</a> <ul><li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-14&action=edit">edit</a></li> <li><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:POTD_protected/2024-11-14&action=history">history</a></li></ul></li></ul> </div> <hr> <p><span class="anchor nowrap" id="13"><b>November 13</b></span></p> <table role="presentation" style="margin:0 3px 3px; width:100%; box-sizing:border-box; text-align:left; background-color:transparent; border-collapse:collapse;"> <tbody><tr> <td style="padding:0 0.9em 0 0; width:400px; text-align:center;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:R%C3%A9union_stonechat_(Saxicola_tectes)_male.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Réunion stonechat"><img alt="Réunion stonechat" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg/400px-R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg" decoding="async" width="400" height="267" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg/600px-R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg/800px-R%C3%A9union_stonechat_%28Saxicola_tectes%29_male.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4991" data-file-height="3327"></a></span> </td> <td style="padding:0 6px 0 0;"> <p>The <b><a href="/wiki/R%C3%A9union_stonechat" title="Réunion stonechat">Réunion stonechat</a></b> (<i>Saxicola tectes</i>) is a species of <a href="/wiki/Saxicola" title="Saxicola">stonechat</a> in the family Muscicapidae, the <a href="/wiki/Old_World_flycatcher" title="Old World flycatcher">Old World flycatchers</a>.
