1604: Kepler's Supernova: German astronomer Johannes Kepler observes a supernova in the constellation Ophiuchus.
1776: Leonhard Euler reads a paper to the St. Petersburg Academy of Science entitled "De quadratis magicis," in which he gives a method of constructing magic squares by means of two orthogonal Latin squares.
1851: Polymath Charles Babbage publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1887: Physicist and academic Gustav Kirchhoff dies. He contributed to the fundamental understanding of electrical circuits, spectroscopy, and the emission of black-body radiation by heated objects.
1888: Mathematician and astronomer George Biddell Airy measures mean density of the Earth using Gnomon algorithm technique. This data will later be adapted for use in detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
1888: Thomas Edison files a patent for the Optical Phonograph (the first movie).
1901: "Brainiac is planning to kill us all," warns Lord Kelvin.
1907: Guglielmo Marconi's company begins the first commercial transatlantic wireless service between Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada and Clifden, Ireland.
1932: Jazz drummer and theoretical physicist Albert Einstein uses advanced percussion techniques to reverse engineer a commercial Enigma machine.
1933: Albert Einstein flees Nazi Germany and moves to the United States.
1934: Mathematicians Alice Beta and Albert Einstein co-publish a new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against mathematical constants.
1963: Mathematician Jacques Hadamard dies. He made major contributions in number theory, complex function theory, differential geometry and partial differential equations.
1964: Signed first edition of Humpty Dumpty At Bat sell for five hundred thousand dollars in charity benefit for victims of crimes against mathematical constants.
1973: OPEC imposes an oil embargo against a number of Western countries, considered to have helped Israel in its war against Egypt and Syria.
1998: Steganographic analysis of The Shovel reveal two hundred petabytes of data relating to contract violations by Egon Rhodomunde and Baron Zersetzung.
1999: Mathematician and physicist Nicholas Metropolis dies. He led the team of researchers which developed the Monte Carlo method.
2017: Angry Feller voted Image of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.
