EVENTS NEXT MONTH (8):
New Year's Day - January 1 @ 00:00
Happy New Year! The year 2026 begins.
Toronto Snowstorms - January 2 @ 00:00
A series of blizzards whallopped Toronto with nearly a metre of snow, starting on this day in 1999. Mayor Mel Lastman famously called out the Army to assist, as people ran out of places to put all of the snow.
Great Ice Storm of 1998 - January 4 @ 00:00
On this day, in 1998, a days-long period of freezing rain hit Eastern Ontario, southern Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Power lines were torn down, transmission and radio towers toppled. In response, Canada saw its largest military deployment since the Korean War, and a massive reconstruction effort was launched to rebuild the grid. Many grateful Ontarians will remember the convoy of Con Edison vehicles from Michigan, coming to help. In the end, up to 5% of the forest cover was lost in the storm, and there were billions of dollars in damage.
Stephen Hawking born - January 8 @ 00:00
On this day in 1942 (84 years ago), legendary British physicist Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, UK. His work on such subjects as time, cosmology and black holes helped to revolutionize the way we look at the Universe. Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), he spent the last four decades of his life confined to a wheelchair, eventually communicating with a synthesized voice.
London Underground - January 10 @ 00:00
On this day in 1863, London's Underground was launched, with a line initially between Paddington and Farrington.
Space Shuttle Challenger lost this day - January 26 @ 00:00
The anniversary of the destruction of Space Shuttle Challenger and her seven-member crew, in 1986 (40 years ago). The loss of the orbiter and seven astronauts shortly after launch rocked NASA to the core and caused a serious shift in thinking. The cause was a gasket in the solid-rocket booster, rendered inflexible because of the unusual cold at the launchpad that morning. A gap in the gasket led to flames cutting into the shuttle's external fuel tank; the explosive force was considered equal to that of a small atomic bomb. This accident was more-widely blamed on a complacent culture at NASA.
Apollo 204 lost this day - January 27 @ 00:00
On this day, in 1967, a fire during a launchpad test killed the three astronauts of Apollo 1 (officially designated Apollo 204). The accident led to changes in the materials used in Apollo spacecraft and a substantial redesign of the main hatch. An official enquiry concluded that the fire was caused by frayed electrical insulation, coupled with the all-oxygen atmosphere in the Command Module. It served as a wake-up call to NASA and was largely blamed on the so-called "Go Fever" culture at the agency at that time.
Comet Hyakutake discovered - January 31 @ 00:00
On this day in 1996, Comet Hyakutake was discovered, by Yuji Hyakutake. During its brief visit, it put on a first-class show, spreading its tail clear across the northern sky. It has become known as the Great Comet of 1996.
