Why Is November Not the Ninth Month? The meaning of November comes from Novem, the Latin word for nine. The old Roman calendar started in March, making November the ninth month. When the Roman senate changed the calendar in 153 BCE, the new year started in January, and November became the eleventh month.

DST Ends in USA and Canada The Daylight Saving Time (DST) season ends in USA, Canada, and northern Mexico. On the first Sunday of November, the clocks will be set back 1 hour from 02:00 (2 am) to 01:00 (1 am) in most US states. In Europe and many other countries, the clocks are set back in October.

Astronomical Events in November Leonid Meteor Shower: The Leonid shooting stars are visible between November 6 and 30. The shower usually peaks on the night of November 17 and early morning of November 18 with up to 15 meteors per hour.

The Leonid shooting stars seem to be coming from the star sign Leo or Lion. Advertising

History of November In the old Roman calendar, November was called mensis november, the ninth month, because the Roman calendar started in March. November initially had 29 days. In 154 BCE, a rebellion forced the Roman senate to change the beginning of the civil year from March to January 1st. With this reform, November officially became the eleventh month in the year 153 BCE.

In the year 46 BCE, Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar system—the Julian calendar. He added ten days to the year and introduced the leap day. In the new Julian calendar, November was expanded to 30 days.

Historical Events in November November 3, 1957: The Soviet Union sent the first living creature into orbit: the dog Laika (Russian for ―yapper‖). Laika was aboard the Sputnik II, the second Soviet satellite to go into orbit around the Earth—almost exactly one month after the Sputnik I on October 4, 1957. November 5, 1605: The British soldier Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the English House of Lords in London to overthrow King James I and restore the Catholic Monarchy. He failed. November 5th is Guy Fawkes Day and observed all over the United Kingdom to remember the Gunpowder Treason.

Why December’s Not the 10th Month December is the 12th month (and last month) in our modern-day Gregorian calendar (as it was in the preceding Julian calendar). However, it was initially the 10th month of the Roman calendar (until 153 BC). Hence, ―December‖ comes from the Latin decem, meaning ―ten.‖ In Roman times, the calendar only had ten months and began with March! The winter period was not even assigned months because it was not an active time for military, agriculture, or civil life. The month of December originally consisted of 30 days. After January and February were added to the calendar (around 700 BCE), December was shortened to 29 days. Then, two days were added to December in the subsequent Julian calendar, making it 31 days long.   

December 6 is Saint Nicholas Day. The patron saint of children is the model for Santa Claus and gift-giving. December 7 is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. December 8 is Bodhi Day in the Buddhist calendar, celebrating Buddha’s enlightenment; it’s celebrated in a way that’s similar to how Christians celebrate Christmas to honor Jesus Christ. December 13 is St. Lucia’s Day, which has long been associated with festivals of light. Before the Gregorian calendar reform in 1752, her feast day occurred on the shortest day of the year (hence the saying ―Lucy light, Lucy light, shortest day and longest night‖). December 14 marks the beginning of Hanukkah this year, the 8-day Jewish festival of lights. December 15 is Bill of Rights Day. December 17 is Wright Brothers Day. December 21 is the Winter Solstice—the astronomical day when the hemisphere is tilted as far away from the Sun as possible. Starting in ancient times, people celebrated the rebirth of the Sun event through Yule. December 25 is Christmas Day, a Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Learn more about American Christmas traditions. 11

Odd Moments This Month in History December 14, 1807: Space Invader At 6:30 a.m. on this day in 1807, residents from Vermont to Connecticut looked up at the sky and saw a red fireball. About two-thirds the size of a full Moon, it raced across the heavens, broke apart, and fell to earth in at least six areas of Weston (now Easton), Trumbull, and Fairfield, Connecticut. Whizzing sounds were heard close to the impact sites, and three sonic booms were heard as far as 40 miles away. The entire event took about 30 seconds. Upon hearing the news a few days later, Yale professor Benjamin Silliman and his colleague, professor James Kingsley, traveled to the impact area to talk to witnesses, examine impact sites, and collect specimens (including some that enterprising townsfolk were selling as souvenirs). Silliman confirmed it was a meteorite—the first officially recorded in the New World. Meteorites, rocks that fell from space, were a concept slowly gaining acceptance in Europe, but their study was still a relatively new science. In an article in the Connecticut Herald published on December 29, Silliman and Kingsley described the Weston event. The news rapidly spread to other newspapers, and accounts were published in literary and philosophical journals. Later, Silliman performed a chemical analysis of the rocks and published a revised report. Notable scientific organizations in Philadelphia, London, and Paris discussed the findings. Still, there were skeptics about the idea of meteorites, including U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, who said, ―It is easier to believe that two Yankee professors could lie than to admit that stones could fall from heaven.‖ 14

Fun Fact: Silliman’s and Kingsley’s Weston meteorite fragments were the first cataloged items in the Yale meteorite collection, which is the oldest in the United States. Whew! December is a busy, fun-filled month filled with merriment to keep us active during the cold, dark days. Just remember to grab a cup of cocoa and relax when you can!
