The #NewYearsEve celebration at #TimesSquare in #NewYorkCity is a global phenomenon where millions tune in to watch the countdown to midnight. The iconic ball drop dates back to 1907 when a ball adorned with 100 lightbulbs made its maiden descent from atop One Times Square. 🥳

#LakeThompson is the largest natural waterbody in the state of #SouthDakota. This year, #AlgalBlooms occurred well into November after snow had fallen in the region. While this occurrence might seem unusual, recent research shows that blooms can also happen in cold conditions.
