01The weather outside

Before the weather records began.

Hourly climate records for this spot begin in 1940, so this day stays a little mysterious.

02The sky that night

A waning crescent watched over you.

6% lit · 27.3 days into its cycle

Looking up from Paris that evening, you could have spotted Mars and Saturn without a telescope.

It was summer in your half of the world.

The Moon was 399,618 km away — farther than usual.

03On every radio

Before the charts began.

The weekly singles chart we use begins in August 1958 — your day predates it.
