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.
February 18th through history
A planet found in Arizona and named in Oxford
On February 18th 1930 Clyde Tombaugh, a 24-year-old Kansas farm boy with no degree, was working a blink comparator at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, flicking between two photographic plates of the same patch of sky, when a speck shifted. It was the ninth planet, or so it was billed for the next seventy-six years.
The name came from an eleven-year-old in Oxford. Venetia Burney suggested Pluto over breakfast when her grandfather read her the news; he mentioned it to an astronomer at the university, who telegraphed Flagstaff on March 16th, and the name was announced on May 1st. She was still alive in 2006 when Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet, and took it calmly.
The Hunting Act came into force in England and Wales on February 18th 2005, banning the hunting of wild mammals with dogs after seven hundred hours of parliamentary time and the eventual use of the Parliament Acts. Meets took place the following Saturday in large numbers, within the law.
The volt is named for the man who built the thing it measures: Alessandro Volta, the physicist born on February 18th 1745, made the first battery and demonstrated it to Napoleon. John Travolta, the actor who found fame in Saturday Night Fever and Grease, was born in 1954, and Yoko Ono, the avant-garde artist and musician who later married John Lennon, in 1933.
Born on February 18th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
John Travolta and Yoko Ono — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aquarius — an Air sign ruled by Saturn (traditional) / Uranus (modern), symbolised by the Water-Bearer. If you were born right on the cusp, sources vary by a day either way on exactly where one sign ends and the next begins.
Birthstone
Amethyst for February.
Birth flower
Violet (primary), also Primrose — most commonly cited sources agree on violet as the main February 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 — amethyst for the stone, Aquarius for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
