Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 23:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC) The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects. The target object, Dimorphos, is a 160-meter-long (525-foot) minor-planet moon of the asteroid Didymos. 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 momentum transfer 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-aperture (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.

The mission was contracted by NASA and was flown by SpaceX. The CRS-20 was the final flight before the first use of Dragon 2 and was the end of the phase 1 missions. CRS-20 used Dragon capsule C112, which previously flew to the ISS on CRS-10 and CRS-16 and was launched aboard Falcon 9 from the Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 40. CRS-20 arrived at the ISS on March 9 2020 and was captured by the station's robotic arm, the last capture of the Dragon spacecraft. The CRS-20 mission carried 1977 kg (4358 lbs) of cargo to the ISS. credit: NASA Johnson Space Center Recently featured:

Thank you for FPC consideration

Hi Bammesk,

Thank you for initially nominating the current lead image of Geologic time scale as Featured picture candidate. While it is a shame it ended with little support, and I was away when voting commenced, I do find the feedback given by most opposers quite vague, and relatively unhelpful. A couple of the points raised will be useful for a future revision, other points have been debated on the lead image for the article for well over a decade (linear vs circular vs log-scale) - the current image shows more information than any prior version in a way I think is easier to visualise, but that is in part likely due to my background as a geologist. Jarred C Lloyd (talk) 10:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

@Jarred C Lloyd: sorry for the late reply. FP nominations cover diverse subjects and the reviews are done by a small pool of volunteers (generally non-experts). I know little about geology and I think your image is very informative and well done. Good to hear that "a couple of the points raised will be useful". Thank you for the quality contributions. Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 03:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 19:53, 24 October 2024 (UTC) The Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) is a bird in the family Pelecanidae. With a length of 160 to 183 centimetres (63 to 72 inches), a mass of 7.25 to 15 kilograms (16.0 to 33.1 pounds) and a wingspan of 245 to 351 centimetres (96 to 138 inches), it is the largest pelican species and one of the world's largest living flying birds. The Dalmatian pelican has a range spanning across much of central Eurasia, from the Mediterranean in the west to the Taiwan Strait in the east, and from the Persian Gulf in the south to Siberia in the north. It is a short-to-medium-distance migrant between breeding and overwintering areas. The Dalmatian pelican's preferred habitat is lakes, rivers, deltas and estuaries, and it feeds on various fish species such as the common carp and European perch. Like many pelicans, it is often silent, but can be vocal during the mating season, engaging in a wide range of guttural, deep vocalisations, including barks, hisses and grunts. This Dalmatian pelican was photographed in flight over the Danube Delta in Romania. Photograph credit: Charles J.

Featured picture scheduled for POTD

Hi Bammesk,

This is to let you know that File:Mangosteens - whole and opened.jpg, a featured picture you nominated, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for December 3, 2024. A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2024-12-03. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you! :Jay8g [V•T•E] 19:37, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

The mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree with edible fruit native to Maritime Southeast Asia, from the Malay Peninsula to Borneo. It is grown mainly in Southeast Asia, southwest India, and other tropical areas such as Colombia, Puerto Rico and Florida, where the tree has been introduced. The fruit is sweet and tangy, juicy, somewhat fibrous, with fluid-filled vesicles (like the flesh of citrus fruits), with an inedible, deep reddish-purple colored rind (exocarp) when ripe. In each fruit, the fragrant edible white flesh that surrounds each seed is the endocarp, the inner layer of the ovary, and is roughly the same shape and size as a tangerine, about 4 to 6 centimetres (1.5 to 2.5 inches) in diameter. This photograph, which was focus-stacked from 22 individual images, shows two mangosteens, one whole, and the other halved to expose the endocarp.
