On this day: 12 November
ON THIS DAY- On this day in 2015, European Space Agency lander Philae landed on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko as part of the Rosetta mission, achieving the first ever soft landing on a comet nucleus, ten years and eight months after departing Earth. 35 years earlier, the US space probe Voyager 1 reached the planet Saturn and caught its rings on film. In 1927, Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, paving the way for Josef Stalin to take control of the party and country. In 1982, the Polish Government freed the leader of the outlawed Solidarity movement, Lech Walesa, who eventually became the elected President of Poland in 1990. Bahá’u’lláh Mírzá Ḥusayn-`Alí Núrí, founder of the Bahá’í Faith, was born on this day in 1817. Musician Neil Young and serial killer Charles Manson were also born on this day in 1945 and 1934, respectively. This time in 2015 we were left perplexed as the EGP inexplicably appreciated against the USD as a caretaker was appointed at the helm of the central bank with Hisham Ramez vacating the seat ahead of schedule.
