Dr. Thomas Clemens, and if you want to see an artist's impression of what the ancient nautilus would have looked like, have a look at the BBC News website. And last, the late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, would have been 100 years old later this month. To mark the occasion, some of her most recognizable outfits are going on public display at the King's Gallery at Buckingham Palace.
The exhibition includes everything from her wedding and coronation gowns in her early years to the favorite tartans and tweeds she wore in more recent decades. Our royal correspondent Daniela Relf has been taking a look. Across the gallery, mannequin after mannequin is dressed in some of the most memorable outfits of the queen's life.

I'm Tristan Redman, one of the hosts of the Global Story podcast from the BBC. How would the US invade Iran? Different options are on the table, but the Pentagon has wargamed this for years, and our guest today was in the room for many of them. What are Donald Trump's remaining military options? Listen to the Global Story on BBC.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Celia Hatton, and in the early hours of Friday, the 3rd of April, these are our main stories. NASA's Artemis II mission moves into its next phase. A big engine burn sends the astronauts beyond the Earth's orbit on a trajectory around the Moon. Plus, the military general behind Myanmar's coup five years ago becomes the country's president.
We're starting the program with news from NASA's Artemis II moon mission and its translunar injection burn. This is the message from Houston Mission Control just a few hours ago. Confirmation from teams here on the ground to the Artemis II crew aboard Orion. We have translunar injection burn cut off and early reports that it was a very good burn.
This critical moment marked the next phase of the space mission that's taking four astronauts on an unprecedented trip. The burn, a boost of the engine that lasted just under six minutes, put the spacecraft on a path to go out of the Earth's orbit towards the far side of the moon. One of the astronauts, the Canadian Jeremy Hansen, spoke to mission control shortly after the burn had taken place.
This is a moment that we've all been waiting for. We were treated to a wonderful launch, but it would count for nothing unless it went to the moon. For that, the astronauts had to check out this very new spacecraft, which has been flown for the first time with a crew, to make sure that the launch hadn't rattled it up. That's what they've spent the past day doing.
and they decided to go. If they hadn't decided to go, then they would have had to come back. But as it is, they have given it a big push. They've turned on the thrusters of the Orion spacecraft, which is accelerating thousands of miles to put it on a bigger loop than just going around the Earth. It's now on a loop that will take it past the Moon.
LisÀksi kuin mitenkÀÀn asteenilaisuus on ollut aiemmin, se on lopettanut rekordin noin 4000 kautta ja sitten taas maailmalle. Ja todella suuri rauha, ei kuitenkaan, missiinkontrollin kautta. MeillÀ on paljon odotettavaa, ja nÀitÀ kuvia nÀemme tulevaisuudessa.
As you said, a lot to look forward to, Paula, but what are the most crucial moments that will take place over the next few days? Well, there are some beautiful moments. This mission reminds me of the Apollo 8 mission that happened in 1968. It had the same purpose. It wasn't a mission to land on the moon. It just swung around in preparation for the eventual moon landing by Neil Armstrong on Apollo 11. But that, for the first time, showed pictures of Earth from space.
kaunis color for the people of the world for the first time. We're all used to seeing that, but I'm hoping it will have a similar effect, because it will be in gorgeous high definition, and we'll be able to see it again through the eyes of the astronauts.
There's going to be a critical phase where it swings around to the far side of the moon, where for 40 minutes they'll be out of communication. Now, nothing should go wrong, but they are up in space on their own in a dangerous environment, so mission control will be holding their breath, hoping for the best until contact is restored.
Pallab Gorsh.
We've hidden their identities and are not using their real voices. This report from our special correspondent Fergal Keen and a warning that listeners may find some of the accounts distressing. It is a harsh spring of broken glass, wind blowing through collapsed buildings that sends dust sweeping along empty streets.
Teheran ihmisille ainoa tieto, jota he uskallavat, on se, mitÀ he nÀkevÀt ja kuulevat. Mutta Iranin sisÀllÀ olemme saaneet ensimmÀisenÀ kÀsittelyÀ ihmisistÀ, jotka ovat haastaneet amerikkalaisia ja israelilaisia airstrokeja ja valtion repressiota.
We saw smoke rising into the sky, but we didn't know what place had been targeted. Sitara is an office worker in Teheran. After that, everyone working in the company panicked. People were shouting and screaming and running away. For one to two hours the situation stayed like that, complete chaos.
Nyt, kuten miljoonia iranilaisia, hÀn on työskennellyt ja tuntee, ettÀ hÀnellÀ on kotona. HÀn aloittaa ruokaa, jolla ei ole rahaa ostaa mitÀÀn. En tiedÀ, miten tÀllaista vÀliÀ työskennellisyyttÀ tapahtuu. Ei ole tuotantosysteemiÀ, ja hallitus ei tee mitÀÀn nÀille työskennellisille ihmisille. Luulen, ettÀ todellinen maa aloittaa, jos tÀmÀ maa loppuu, ilman mitÀÀn tuloksia. Nykyinen hyökkÀys on pysÀhtynyt hÀnen voimansa työskennellÀ.
