Non-musical history for today: 1715 – A total solar eclipse was visible across northern Europe and northern Asia, as predicted by Edmond Halley to within four minutes’ accuracy. His comet seems pretty popular, too.

Non-musical history for today: 1611 – The King James Version of the Bible is published for the first time in London, England, by printer Robert Barker. Bob Barker peddlin’ fiction. Hmmm…

Non-musical history for today: 1930 – “Pluto” was officially proposed for the name of the newly discovered dwarf planet by Vesto Slipher in the Lowell Observatory Observation Circular. The name quickly caught on. And, for the record… Pluto is STILL a planet!

Non-musical history for today: 1975 – Communist forces gain control of Saigon. One day after the U.S. pulled out, the Vietnam War formally ended with the unconditional surrender of South Vietnamese President Dương Văn Minh. And, all those soldiers from the US had nowhere to go or do.

Non-musical history for today: 1789 – Lieutenant William Bligh and 18 sailors are set adrift, and the rebel crew returns to Tahiti briefly before setting sail for Pitcairn Island (which did NOT turn out well for the mutineers). Yes, the boat was “The Bounty” and Mutiny on the Bounty wasn’t just a novel and film.

Non-musical history for today: 2005 – Airbus A380 aircraft had its maiden test flight. The A380 is making a comeback, sort of. While no new ones are being made (as of now), several airlines are putting them back into service. People have been requesting them. Now, operating them is not a budget-friendly thing; it costs a lot. You’ll probably pay for that when booking.

Non-musical history for today: 1777 – Sybil Ludington, aged 16, allegedly rode 40 miles (64 km) to alert American colonial forces to the approach of the British regular forces. Most historians dispute this, much like most do Paul Revere’s “ride.”

Non-musical history for today: 1933 – Nazi Germany issued the Law Against Overcrowding in Schools and Universities limiting the number of Jewish students able to attend public schools and universities. Pay attention, people. This time it isn’t the Nazis.

Non-musical history for today: 1800 – The United States Library of Congress was established when President John Adams signed legislation to appropriate $5,000 to purchase “such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress.” It’s a wonder the Cheeto-in-Charge hasn’t dismantled that, yet, leaving only his and Rush Limbaugh’s books.
