On this day! Remember the Maine! Button from my grandmother that was meant to commemorate the sinking of the USS Maine on 15 Feb 1898 in Havana. The sinking was caused by a fire next to their munitions storage, but due to claims of a Spanish mine precipitating the explosion - it started the Spanish-American War.

Galileo, "father" of observational astronomy, modern physics, the scientific method, and modern science, was born in Pisa in 1564.
We pay homage to him, on his 458° Birthday, through the paintings that portray his face throughout his life.
