Pluto Day

Pluto Day is celebrated annually to commemorate the anniversary of the discovery of Pluto in 1930. Although Pluto was discovered in 1930, the story of its discovery started in 1840 after French astronomer Urbain Le Verrier sensed that there was a planet outside of Uranus due to irregularities in its orbit. His intuition led him to develop mathematical calculations to explain the discrepancies of Uranus’s orbit in relation to the laws of planetary motion and gravity, which led to the eventual discovery of Neptune.

After Neptune was discovered, an event that is widely regarded as a validation of a subset of the astronomy practice called celestial mechanics. It was then realized that there was yet another planet disturbing Uranus’s orbit since the irregularity in its orbit continued. This then led to the search for Pluto — initially called Planet X — being headed by Percival Lowell, whose death would later see the search for Pluto passed to Clyde Tombaugh, who eventually discovered it.

The planet, which was named after the Roman god of the Underworld, was considered one of the nine planets in the solar system up until 2006. The International Astronomical Union reduced its status and tagged it a ‘dwarf’ planet due to not meeting the criteria to be considered a full-sized planet and being two-third of the size of the earth. It is believed that the first two letters in ‘Pluto’ were in honor of Percival Lowell whose belief that there were other planets beyond Neptune, helped fuel the drive that led to its discovery.

Clean Your Floors Day

In the United States, Clean Your Floors Day is observed on August 3. This day serves as a reminder for everyone to clean their floors. Floor cleaning is a laborious but necessary task that keeps your home clean and keeps everyone who lives there safe and comfortable. Even though you should always clean your floors, it’s not always possible. The chance to deep clean and refinish your home’s floors on Clean Your Floors Day will make regular cleaning much easier.

Every year on August 3, Clean Your Floors Day is observed. The occasion serves as both a reminder and an opportunity for Americans to thoroughly clean their floors. Despite being a tedious task, floor cleaning is crucial. In order to keep the house safe and livable for the residents, floor cleaning is necessary for a number of reasons.

Because it removes any obstacles that could cause people to trip or slip while walking, floor cleaning is important. Lack of floor cleaning can result in numerous accidental injuries, some of which are fatal. Regular cleaning ensures that there are no objects on the floor that could damage it or scratch it, which increases its longevity and keeps your floors strong and beautiful for a long time. Wear and tear on your flooring also reduces the overall valuation of your home.

Maintaining clean floors is also crucial for minimising allergic reactions. If they aren’t regularly cleaned out, dust, pet fur and dander, pollen, and other allergens have a tendency to accumulate quickly on floors and can result in life-threatening allergic reactions. How simple it is to maintain floors is a deciding factor when selecting floor materials, especially in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hospitals where sanitization is crucial.
