A 425-Million-Year-Old Predatory Worm That Moved Like An Accordion? Why Not
“Anything that happened to be close by when they shoved their throat outwards into the sediment would have been grabbed.”

This is the Largest Planet-Forming Disk Ever Seen
Roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth, there is a cosmic structure known as IRAS 23077+6707 (IRAS 23077) that resembles a giant butterfly. Ciprian T. Berghea, an astronomer with the U.S. Naval Observatory, originally observed the structure in 2016 using the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid...

Astronomers have spotted dozens of rogue planets floating free from their stars after turning the Euclid space telescope to look at a distant region of the Milky Way.
The wandering worlds were seen deep inside the Orion nebula, a giant cloud of dust and gas 1,500 light years away, and described in the first scientific results announced by Euclid mission researchers.
The European Space Agency (Esa) launched the €1bn (£851m) observatory last summer on a six-year mission to create a 3D map of the cosmos. Armed with its images, scientists hope to understand more about the mysterious 95% of the universe that is unexplained.
According to astronomers’ theories, most of the universe is made up of dark matter, an invisible substance that clings around galaxies and behaves like a cosmic glue, and dark energy, which is said to drive the accelerating expansion of the universe.……

During the solar system's chaotic era, Jupiter may have helped form Earth's moon
The great planetary instability coincides with the collision that formed Earth's moon — could the two events be linked?

Maybe the Earth pooped it out…
'Forever' vibrating strings can swing 100,000 times/sec for 100 yrs
Researchers have created one of the world’s most sensitive mechanical sensors: string-like resonators that vibrate longer at room temperatures than any recorded solid-state objects.

Stargazers are in with a chance of a celestial treat on Monday with six planets appearing in alignment.
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus will take part in the parade – which occurs when planets gather on the same side of the sun.
Prof Danny Steeghs, of the University of Warwick said the event, which should be visible around the world, was due to occur around sunrise and would be rather low in the east, meaning the alignment would need some equipment to see properly.
“Uranus and Neptune will be faint, so viewers will require good binoculars to see them,” he said, adding that the proximity of Jupiter and Mercury to the sun would restrict their view.
Some of the planets may be visible to the naked eye, although scattered light might still cause difficulties. “Mars and Saturn are the more accessible ones to view, you can see them ahead of the other planets rising and a bit higher in the sky,” Steeghs said, adding that mobile apps could help show where and when to look up.
The planets will appear in a diagonal arrangement across the sky, with Saturn highest, followed by Neptune, then Mars, Uranus and Mercury. Jupiter will appear closest to the horizon.……

A woman who visited hospital seven times with slurred speech, only to be told she was drunk – despite saying she had not been drinking – had a rare condition which gave her the appearance of being intoxicated.
Over two years the 50-year-old woman visited the emergency department complaining of extreme daytime sleepiness and slurred speech.
She had been on several antibiotic courses for recurrent urinary tract infections alongside a proton pump inhibitor to reduce the amount of acid in her stomach.
Despite not drinking alcohol, she also had elevated blood alcohol levels and alcohol on her breath.
She was eventually diagnosed with auto-brewery syndrome, a condition that sees fungi in the gut create alcohol through fermentation.
Researchers say awareness of this syndrome – which has social, legal, and medical consequences – is essential for proper diagnosis and management.……
