Fun for Friday: Weird August Science!

Welcome to my new monthly Fun for Friday theme, weird science! (Not to be confused with the movie of the same name.) Toward the beginning of each month, I’ll share some links to articles about unusual discoveries, inventions, and other science facts. If you’re a sci-fi writer, perhaps one of these items will give you some inspiration for your writing!
The first article for this month is a Scientific American article from last year that covers both July and August science history from 50, 100, and 150 years ago. There are also a couple of additional tidbits celebrating milestone anniversaries included at the end of this article.
ThoughtCo’s article covers inventions and birthdays from the month of August. Most of these are related to science, but a few other fields make their appearance as well!
Finally, the Skulls in the Stars blog has a couple of posts covering August 1-14 and August 15-28 for weird science facts. They also have other posts that cover weeks at a time or months at a time, but I thought these two were the best option for a wide variety of science facts!
