If we are talking about their β€œcorrect” Latin (Linnean) names, the concept of electricity pre-dates modern taxonomical methods. Electric Eels were actually included in the 10th (1766) edition of Linneus’ Systema Naturae as Gymnotus Electricus, thus acknowledging their β€œspecial” properties.

Sea Mammals A richly illustrated introduction to the world’s living and extinct sea mammals

Sea Mammals | Princeton University Press press.princeton.edu/books/hardco... great little book by @princetonupress.bsky.social … fascinating to read about the predecessors of modern sea mammals as well as some species that are at risk. Authoritative, easy to read and beautifully illustrated #booksky

Sadly we went to the Bluu Bar on Albert Dock for our graduation dinner. It definitely would have been better if Brian Jacques had cooked for us.
Steven Gerrard was there as well. Would have been quite the Dinner Party.

Brian Jacques came to my graduation. He made everyone laugh and really brightened up the occasion. It’s great to see that his books are still so popular. He is really sadly missed around Liverpool.

STONE

If you like Oasis, have a listen to Stone, a new-ish band from Liverpool who sound quite similar (open.spotify.com/artist/1br1P...)

Back to the Moon by Joseph Silk is a good read. I also enjoyed When Galaxies Were Born by Richard S. Ellis, who did his PhD at Oxford.

I’m just reading Richard Ellis’ book β€œWhen Galaxies Were Born”. Richard Ellis is a prominent astronomer from Colwyn Bay. This book is a really well written, accessible introduction to the subject. It’s really interesting to read about the evolution of astronomy during the 20th century and beyond.

AFI - Silver Bleeds The Black Sun…
This record is my pick for album of the year this year. Such a brilliant record! I love how they melt so much groove(?!) with goth & post punk to head in another πŸ”₯ musical exploration. Their best since Crash Love! #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #postpunk #afireinside

1/ California Nebula (NGC1499) in Hubble SHO palette and HOO palettes.

Over the past days I took advantage of an extraordinary week of clear skies to return to another classic that I already imaged three years ago with a standard DSLR with nice result and no special filters. πŸ”­ ⬇️
