Dates of Note
by Megan Lorance
October 6 1927 – First ‘talkie’ film, The Jazz Singer premieres—It seems small now, but this was a major technological advancement at the time. And where would our movies today be without recorded sound?
October 8 1949 – American actress Sigourney Weaver—She killed the Alien Queen, and repeated what the computer said. Sci-fi queen!
October 9 1604 – Johannes Kepler’s observation of SN 1604, or Kepler’s Supernova is the most recent supernova to be observed with the naked eye within the Milky Way. It’s not science fiction, but science fact inspires our fiction: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the firmament proclaims the works of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1)
