The December 2010 lunar eclipse occurred from 5:27 to 11:06 UTC on December 21, coinciding with the date of the December solstice. It was visible in its entirety as a total lunar eclipse in North and South America, Iceland, Ireland, Britain and northern Scandinavia.

I joined on May 25, 2011. May 25th was my parents wedding anniversary. Unfortunately they divorced many, many years ago- but my sister and I still celebrate the date every year as we would not exist were it not for that day!

Today is the Islamic festival of Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan for Muslims worldwide.

United Airlines, the world's second-biggest carrier, appears headed for the largest bankruptcy filing in airline industry history. The company's efforts to avoid a Chapter 11 filing apparently ended Wednesday when a government board rejected its bid for $1.8 billion in federal loan guarantees.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Harvard mouse, designed for its usefulness in cancer research, is not patentable. In its view such a higher life form does not fall within the definition of invention.

At Arusha, Tanzania, President Pierre Buyoya of Burundi and Pierre Nkurunziza, leader of the Hutu insurgents Forces for the Defense of Democracy (FDD), signed a cease-fire accord. The goal is to end a nine-year civil war.

None of which had any impact on my signing up here as I'd been lurking for quite a long time before, but still interesting to look at!

I think Usain Bolt broke the world record the day I joined, but looking up only the day and month on wiki, and on my joining day in 1942 "The two-person crew of the U.S. naval blimp L-8 disappears without a trace on a routine anti-submarine patrol over the Pacific Ocean. The blimp drifts without her crew and crash-lands in Daly City, California."

Now I never knew that, so you really do learn something new every day

Hmm...

Exactly 40 years before I joined ATS, a monumental event occurred...

Elvis Presley's concert Aloha from Hawaii is broadcast live via satellite, and sets the record as the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history.

All hail the King!

In less important news, it was also the day that the American Revolutionary War officially ended through the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. Pssh...that's not very exciting...

Just kidding! January 14th was truly a great day to register.
