November 18th, 1997, is a day that will be etched in the annals of history as a day of monumental significance. It was a day that witnessed a major breakthrough in the field of astronomy, a day that marked the beginning of a new era in our understanding of the universe.
On this day, a team of astronomers led by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz made a groundbreaking discovery that would change the face of astronomy forever. After years of rigorous research and observation, they detected the first extrasolar planet, orbiting the star 51 Pegasi, a G-type main-sequence star located about 50 light-years from Earth.
This discovery was a major milestone in the search for life beyond our solar system and sparked a new wave of research into exoplanetary science. The discovery of 51 Pegasi b, as the planet came to be known, paved the way for the detection of thousands of exoplanets in the years that followed.
On this day, two individuals were born who would go on to make their mark in their respective fields. Shea Langeliers, an American professional baseball catcher, was born in Portland, Oregon. Known for his strong defensive skills and promising bat, Langeliers is currently a promising young player in the Oakland Athletics organization.
Robert Sánchez, a Spanish professional footballer, was also born on this day. A prolific goal-scorer, Sánchez has played for clubs like Levante and Espanyol, and has represented Spain at the Under-21 level.
November 18th, 1997, also marked the 54th anniversary of the death of Louis Brandeis, the first Jewish Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Appointed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, Brandeis was a champion of progressive causes and played a crucial role in shaping the country's legal landscape.
As we look back on this day, we remember the contributions of those who have come before us, and celebrate the achievements of those who continue to shape our world.
The discovery of the first extrasolar planet on November 18th, 1997, marked the beginning of a new era of exploration and discovery in the field of astronomy.
