Today marks the 52nd anniversary of the release of Rick Wakeman's debut solo album, The Six Wives of Henry VIII, the most successful album of his solo career.

What is your favourite track on the album?
*** Rick Wakeman's thoughts on Piano Vibrations, released before this album: This was never meant to be a solo album and to be honest I certainly don't count it as a solo album in any respect.

Using ESO's #VLT, astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds on #exoplanet WASP-127b.
The winds reach speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet!

The skies above Paranal are at risk from a proposed industrial megaproject.
This would be located in the vicinity of ESO's Observatory. If constructed, it would irreparably impact astronomical observations.

Se nos vienen a la cabeza “negocios” y actividades económicas que comparar pero preferimos no hacer más daño.
Aunque cueste entenderlo, pagamos por publicar y pagamos por leerlos.

Brain, guts, and circulatory system of a Cambrian arthropod larva! The most amazingly preserved fossil I have ever seen.

A bizarre fossil of a Cambrian creature that looked like an “alien fish taco” reveals how a single group with jaws came to account for around 90 percent of all animal species on Earth trib.al/VmAP1kk

Important work led by @trichodes, redescribing Odaraia from the #BurgessShale. Clear mandibles link hymenocarine bivalved arthropods and fuxianhuiids as stem group mandibulates. The fine mesh of spines on the limbs confirms that Odaraia and its relatives were filter feeders.

In a fun one for @NYTScience, I get two paleontologists' takes on how they'd cook up a Cambrian shrimp-look-alike with a taco-shaped shell: nytimes.com/2024/07/23/scien…

Se ha descubierto una nueva especie de felino (Magerifelis peignei) que habitó lo que hoy es Madrid hace unos 15,5 millones de años, en el Mioceno medio. En el yacimiento Príncipe Pío se halló su mandíbula, prácticamente completa, y con una dentición primitiva entre los felinos.

Belated Fishy #FossilFriday with the sharing of this awesome early vertebrate research by @Euphanerops et al!
I love CT because it always reveals amazing stuff and gives you some pretty interesting surprises along the way. And this one looks stunning.
Great work guys! 🦈
