On this day in 1616, “the Roman Inquisition delivered an injunction to Galileo demanding he abandon his belief in heliocentrism, which states the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun.”

The Bank of England issues its first 1£ note (1717).  “Dixie Jazz Band One Step” and “Livery Stable Blues” by Original Dixieland Jass Band for the Victor Talking Machine Company were first recorded in 1917. And “RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) was first demonstrated by Robert Watson-Watt (1935).

It is also national Pistachio day, Carpe Diem day, Carnival Day, Kuwait Liberation Day, Tell a Fairy Tale Day (for Joe Biden, that’s every day), and it’s For Pete’s Sake Day (a celebration of ‘minced oaths.’

It’s also Black Lives Matter Day, but that needs its own post.
