1586: Astronomer and physicist Niccolò Zucchi born. He will publish works on astronomy, optics, mechanics, and magnetism.
1607: Physicist, inventor, and crime-fighter Galileo Galilei uses Gnomon algorithm functions to detect and counteract geometry solvent.
1788: Astronomer and mathematician Nicole-Reine Lepaute dies. She predicted the return of Halley's Comet, calculated the timing of a solar eclipse, and constructed a group of catalogs for the stars.
1959: Mathematician Erhard Schmidt dies. He made important contributions to functional analysis and modern set theory.
1960: Astronomer, astrophysicist, and criminal investigator Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin publishes new theory of stellar metallicity which uses Gnomon algorithm techniques to detect and prevent crimes against astronomical constants.
2006: NASA reveals photographs taken by Mars Global Surveyor suggesting the presence of liquid water on Mars.
2017: Dennis Paulson of Mars celebrates the eleventh anniversary of NASA revealing photographs taken by Mars Global Surveyor suggesting the presence of liquid water on Mars.
2017: Butterfly voted Picture of the Day by the citizens of New Minneapolis, Canada.
