On This Day In History for January 14, 2015

This is the 14th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 351 days remaining until the end of 2015.

Strange but true fact! In the 20th and 21st centuries the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, thus January 14 is sometimes celebrated as New Year’s Day (Old New Year) by religious groups who use the Julian calendar.

  • It was on this date in 1911 that Roald Amundsen’s South Pole expedition makes landfall on the eastern edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
  • 65 years ago today, the first prototype of the MiG-17 makes its maiden flight.
  • NBC’s long-running morning news program Today debuts, with host Dave Garroway on this date in 1952.
  • The Hudson Motor Car Company merges with Nash-Kelvinator Corporation forming the American Motors Corporation 61 years ago today.
  • January 14, 1969, an accidental explosion aboard the USS Enterprise near Hawaii kills 27 people.
  • 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 42 years ago today.
  • The Huygens probe lands on Saturn’s moon Titan on this date 10 years ago.
  • Also today in 2012, The Pirate Party of Greece is founded, on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party.

Happy birthday goes out on this date to

  • German mathematician, astronomer, and cartographer Johann Matthias Hase born on this date in 1684.
  • Also born today in 1943, American biochemist and astronaut Shannon Lucid
  • Actor Carl Weathers turns 67 today.
  • Colin Ferguson, not the actor from SyFy’s Eureka, but the Jamaican-American murderer turns 57.
  • Actor and Rapper, LL Cool J celebrates his 47th birthday today.
  • and finally American actor, director, and producer Jason Bateman is 46.

And that’s the way it was, on this day in history for January 14, 2015
