Krakatoa: The World’s Mightiest Explosion
1883 Krakatoa volcano, located west of Java in Indonesia, erupts with a force of 200 megatons of TNT, killing approximately 36,000 people
> > > Clint’s comment: Two volcano facts in the same week! Krakatoa volcano in the Sunda Strait, Indonesia, was one of the most powerful and destructive volcanic events in recorded history. Culminating on August 27, 1883, the cataclysm destroyed over 70% of the island, killed more than 36,000 people, and produced the loudest sound ever recorded in human history… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2pPRiUUnOg

Halley Observes his Comet
1682 English astronomer Edmond Halley first observes the comet named after him
> > > Clint’s comment: is a famous short-period comet visible from Earth every 74 to 79 years. Officially designated 1P/Halley, it last visited the inner Solar System in 1986 and is expected to return in mid-2061.

Galileo's 1st Telescope
1609 Galileo Galilei demonstrates his first telescope to Venetian lawmakers, including the Doge (ruler) of Venice, Leonardo Donato
> > > Clint’s comment: constructed his first functional telescope in 1609 after hearing reports of a Dutch spyglass. Without ever seeing one, he figured out the design, ground his own superior lenses, and achieved an initial magnification of about 3x, later improving it up to 20x and 30x… https://catalogue.museogalileo.it/object/GalileosTelescope_n01.html

It’s Monday and on this day in history:
Eruption of Vesuvius
79 Believed until 2018 to be the date of the massive eruption of Mt. Vesuvius which buried the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae, killing untold thousands, latest evidence suggests the eruption occurred after 17 October
> > > Clint’s comment: Pliny the Younger wrote two famous letters to the historian Tacitus around 107–108 CE, providing the only surviving eyewitness account of the catastrophic August 24, 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius. From across the Bay of Naples in Misenum, he chronicled the massive pine-tree-like ash cloud, severe tremors, choking darkness, and the heroic death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdLp_A_N4Go

It’s Saturday and on this day in history:
Battle of Bosworth Field
1485 Battle of Bosworth Field: Henry Tudor's forces defeat English King Richard III during the last battle in the Wars of the Roses. Richard is killed, becoming the last English monarch to die in battle.
> > > Clint’s comment: Richard III: The King in the Car Park
This documentary looks at the search for the remains of King Richard III of England (1452-1485). After being killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field (August 22, 1485), his remains were taken to Leicester and it was believed that he was buried at Greyfriars Church. The church no longer exists and its remains were now believed to be under a car park. Phillipa Langley of the Richard III Society convinced archaeologists at the University of Leicester to lead a dig and surprisingly, as it turned out, the first skeleton they found was subsequently proven to be that of the King through DNA tests which showed a match to Canadian Michael Ibsen, a direct descendant of Richard III's sister… https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2677712/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Tycho Brahe's Inspiration
1560 Future Danish astronomer 14-year-old Tycho Brahe becomes interested in astronomy after observing a solar eclipse
> > > Clint’s comment: Mentioned this chap a few weeks ago. I was always fascinated with space and our place in it as a child. I look back and wonder why I never pursued a career in the industry. I guess growing up “in the sicks” in Dorset made it more difficult to imagine, so it faded… lol.
