Events

On 7 January 1610, Galileo Galilei wrote in a letter that he had spotted three of Jupiter's moons. A few months later, he discovered a fourth. The final moon, the golden planet of Voga, would not be discovered by humans until the 29th century. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary [+]Chris Farnell, BBC Children's Books (2020).)

In 1817, Iris Wildthyme and Panda attended Princess Charlotte's 21st birthday celebrations in Brighton. Thomas Daley accompanied them, but skipped the party in favour of a dalliance with a stable boy. (PROSE: Rain and Regency [+]Error: Code 2 - no data stored in variables, cache or SMW.)
