International Sky Day

On the tenth of August we celebrate Sky Day! On this day it is all about the sky and the clouds (AKA the atmosphere). It is very usual to wear blue and white colors, and for the fanatics to have a cloud painted on their cheeks. Every year people gather at the center of the city and they will eat together. This can only be cloud bread, cloud eggs or sky bars (etc.). The holiday was formed when the Australian Jacobs Sky discovered that the sky was actually the atmosphere, and that the clouds were no cotton candy, but actually water particles. He was not very famous in his time, but a brilliant man. He discovered that the particles in the sky were all made of gas, and not as everyone else thought it was. He wrote it all down in his diary, which was dated with the tenth of August 1654. Yet twenty years later it was rediscovered, and the man called John Mayow got all the credit for it. Fortunately, in 1948, the diary of Jacobs Sky was found, and since then we celebrate Sky day!
