On October 7, 1959, Luna 3 took the first photographs of the Moon’s far side.
Although low-resolution, they revealed a very different landscape from the visible side.
Why the Moon’s two hemispheres evolved so differently remains an active scientific question.

On September 28, 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin.
It disrupts cell-wall formation in susceptible bacteria. They deform and some undergo lysis.
An alliance between Animalia and Fungi shifted the balance of power against Bacteria.

On Sep 26, 1849, Ivan Pavlov was born. Pavlov won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on digestion.
The conditioned reflexes that changed the world emerged from what Pavlov called a “dangerous source of error” in his experiments on canine digestion.
