On this day in 1633, famed astronomer Galileo arrived in Rome to stand trial for his beliefs that the earth was not the centre of the universe.

In 1982, 13 February marked the 402nd straight week that Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon spent on the Billboard music charts, with it eventually spending 741 straight weeks in the charts.
