Question: can Maple solve this equation?

sol:=ln( (y-1)^(1/3)* (y^2+y+1)^(1/3) ) - ln(y) = 2/5* ln(t^2+1)+_C1;
solve( sol,y);

in real domain is fine also. But all my attempts failed. I waited 3-4 minutes each time and stopped it.

Any one can find a trick? Below worksheet showing my attempts and also solution by Mathematica which took 0.3 seconds

Make sure to save all your work first. This problem is known to crash Maple !

restart;

sol:=ln( (y-1)^(1/3)* (y^2+y+1)^(1/3) ) - ln(y) = 2/5* ln(t^2+1)+_C1;
solve( sol,y) assuming real;

ln((y-1)^(1/3)*(y^2+y+1)^(1/3))-ln(y) = (2/5)*ln(t^2+1)+_C1
