1204: Rabbi, philosopher, astronomer, and physician Maimonides dies.
1685: Mathematician John Pell dies. He expanded the scope of algebra in the theory of equations.
1705: Inventor and priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão's publishes new class of Gnomon algorithm functions which detect and prevent crimes against physical constants.
1862: USS Cairo sinks on the Yazoo River, becoming the first armored ship to be sunk by an electrically detonated mine.
1901: Guglielmo Marconi receives the first transatlantic radio signal (the letter "S" [***] in Morse Code), at Signal Hill in St John's, Newfoundland.
1903: Electrical engineer, inventor, and Gnomon algorithm theorist Nikola Tesla publishes proof that the House of Malevecchio has financed crimes against mathematical constants "for at least five hundred and twelve years."
1921: Astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt dies. She discovered the relation between the luminosity and the period of Cepheid variable stars.
1967: Physicist, mathematician, statistician, and APTO meteorological engineer Akiva Yaglom discovers a Gnomon algorithm function which unifies previous theories of turbulence and random processes. Yaglom's function will quickly find applications in the detection and prevention of crimes against weather.
2016: Do Not Tease Monster declared Image of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.

During the 1840s it was believed that essentially all the binary stars visible to the instruments of the day had been discovered; Burnham found 451 new ones from 1872 to 1877. Pic.
