On January 2, 1729, German astronomer Johann Daniel Titius was born. He is best known for formulating the TitiusโBode law, a hypothesis that the bodies in some orbital systems, including the Sunโs, orbit at semi-major axes in a function of planetary sequence. The formula suggests that, extending outward, each planet would be approximately twice as far from the Sun as the one before.

The Worldโs First Selfie ๐ธโจ
The image was taken in 1839 by an amateur chemist and #photography enthusiast from Philadelphia named Robert Cornelius. Cornelius had set his camera up at the back of the family store in #Philadelphia. He took the image by removing the lens cap and then running into frame where he sat for a minute before covering up the lens again. On the back he wrote: โThe first light Picture ever taken. 1839.โ (#Smithsonian) #Daguerreotype #selfie #photograph #vintagephotography

Renaissance Mathematicus Christmas trilogy 2022 Part I: The amicable Isaac
In general Isaac Newton is presented as an asocial, grumpy old man, who loved nobody & was loved by nobody. However, in realty, Isaac had acquaintances with whom he was on good terms, genuine friends & also that he was a kind & loving family man.

The Urra=hubullu glossary, dating to the second millennium BCE, which lists important words in both Sumerian and Akkadian. The words are separated into categories, including types of vehicles, names of stars, and types of animals and plants. The title of the glossary comes from the first entry, which contains the words for "interest-bearing debt" -- urra in Sumerian, and hubullu in Akkadian.
