How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
August 9th through history
Nagasaki, and a coronation six weeks late
On August 9th 1945 a second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, the primary target having been obscured by cloud. The hills around the Urakami valley confined the blast, and the city’s shape spared parts of it; even so, tens of thousands of people were killed. Japan announced its surrender six days later, and the war that had begun in 1939 was over.
Edward VII was crowned at Westminster Abbey on August 9th 1902, six weeks after the date printed on the invitations. He had been taken ill with appendicitis two days before the original ceremony and operated on at Buckingham Palace, at a time when the operation was still novel. Much of the food prepared for the abandoned coronation banquet was given away to the poor of London.
Work began on the campanile at Pisa on August 9th 1173. It was leaning before the third storey was finished, construction stopped for the better part of a century, and the upper floors were then built at an angle to compensate, so that the tower curves as well as tilts.
Philip Larkin, the poet, was born on August 9th 1922 in Coventry, and Whitney Houston, the singer, forty-one years later to the day.
Born on August 9th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Philip Larkin and Whitney Houston — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
