The Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, is a choral symphony, the final complete symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed between 1822 and 1824. It was first performed in Vienna on 7 May 1824. The symphony is regarded by many critics and musicologists as a masterpiece of Western classical music. It is one of the best-known works in common practice music and one of the most frequently performed symphonies worldwide. Symphony No. 9 was the first example of a major composer scoring vocal parts in a symphony. In the 20th century, an instrumental arrangement of the chorus was adopted by the Council of Europe, and later the European Union, as the Anthem of Europe. This photograph displays page 12 of Beethoven's original manuscript and is currently held in the collection of the Berlin State Library. Manuscript credit: Ludwig van Beethoven

A honey bee extracts nectar from a flower using its proboscis. Tiny hairs covering the bee's body maintain a slight electrostatic charge, causing pollen from the flower's anthers to stick to the bee's hairs, allowing for pollination when the bee moves on to another flower.

The obverse of a proof-quality Lincoln cent with cameo effect. This has been the United States one-cent coin since 1909. Among United States coins, there are more one-cent coins produced than any other denomination. The reverse has featured the Lincoln Memorial since 1959. When the Lincoln cent made its initial appearance, it marked a radical departure from the accepted styling of United States coins. A strong feeling had prevailed against using portraits, but public sentiment stemming from the 100th anniversary celebration of Abraham Lincoln's birth proved stronger than the long-standing prejudice.

The Clock Tower is a turret clock structure at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament building in Westminster, London. It is colloquially and popularly known as Big Ben; however this name actually belongs to the clock's main bell. It was raised as a part of Charles Barry's design of a new palace, after the old one was destroyed by fire. The tower is designed in the Victorian Gothic style, and is 96.3 metres (316 feet) high.

An Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) egg hatching. The Alevin (larva) has grown around the remains of the yolk sac - visible are the arteries spinning around the yolk and little oildrops, also the gut, the spine, the main caudal blood vessel, the bladder and the arcs of the gills. In about 24 hours it will be a fry without yolk sac. Photo credit: Uwe Kils

The Hawaii overprint notes, an emergency issue of U.S. currency overprinted with the word Hawaii, became the only bills allowed to be used there following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Any money captured by the Japanese if they invaded Hawaii could then be easily distinguished. The bills were introduced on June 25, 1942, and withdrawn effective April 1946; many were destroyed. Shown here is a $1 Silver Certificate, of which 35,052,000 were printed. This bill is scanned from the collections of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution.
