Whoa: young scholar searching Florence libraries for how the ancient Ptolemy informed Galileo found a copy of Ptolemy's Almagest with marginalia in what looks a lot like Galileo's own hand. Like a frozen moment of torch passing, when a carefully tended fire from antiquity ignited something new.
A 1551 print of Ptolemy’s Almagest annotated by Galileo Galilei has been newly discovered in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze! 🌙🔭🪐 #HistSci

They feed on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs & newts. Fantastic image taken by Prashant Gharpure in Florida, USA. #spoonbill

Northern Lapwing.
The northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus), is common through temperate Eurosiberia.
It has rounded wings & a crest. It is also the shortest-legged of the lapwings. It is mainly black and white, but the back is tinted green.
