Good morning.
It will be another cold day today, with a high of zero and wind chill values of thirty to forty below. Sunrise for Tuesday is 7:14 AM, and sunset is 5:03 PM. The moon is a waning crescent with 7% of its visible disk illuminated.
On this day in 1986, the space shuttle Challenger is destroyed in an explosion shortly after liftoff, with all seven astronauts abroad killed.
A fictional account of a review commission’s inquiry into the explosion, The Challenger Disaster, stars William Hurt as Richard Feynman, and is particularly gripping.
On this day in 1959, the Packers make a good pick:
1959 – Lombardi Named Packers Coach
On this date Vince Lombardi was named head coach of the Packers. He had been the offensive backfield coach of the New York Giants for the previous five seasons. Lombardi went on to coach the Packers for nine years, winning five NFL Championships and victories in Super Bowls I and II. [Source: Packers.com]
