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.
November 21st through history
Two men leave the ground and stay off it
Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis d’Arlandes rose from the Bois de Boulogne on November 21st 1783 in a Montgolfier balloon and became the first human beings to make a free flight. They were airborne for about twenty-five minutes, drifted five miles across Paris feeding straw to the fire, and beat out sparks landing on the fabric. Benjamin Franklin watched from the crowd, and is said to have met the question of what use it was with another: what use is a new-born baby.
Bombs in two crowded Birmingham pubs on the evening of November 21st 1974 killed twenty-one people and injured nearly two hundred. The Prevention of Terrorism Act was on the statute book within eight days. Six men were convicted the following year, and their convictions were quashed in 1991 after sixteen years in prison and a long campaign.
The hospital ship Britannic, largest of the three Olympic-class liners and never a passenger ship, struck a mine off the Greek island of Kea on November 21st 1916 and sank in fifty-five minutes. Thirty of the 1,066 aboard were lost. Among the survivors was a stewardess named Violet Jessop, who had been aboard the Olympic when a cruiser rammed her in 1911 and the Titanic in 1912, and went back to sea for another thirty years.
Voltaire, the Enlightenment writer and philosopher who needled the establishment of his day, was born on November 21st 1694; Goldie Hawn, the actress who built a career on comic charm, followed in 1945, and Bjork, the Icelandic singer known for her singular and inventive sound, in 1965.
Born on November 21st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Goldie Hawn and Bjork — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Scorpio — a Water sign ruled by Mars (traditional) / Pluto (modern), symbolised by the Scorpion. 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
traditionally Topaz, or Topaz or Citrine in the modern list for November.
Birth flower
Chrysanthemum (primary), also Peony — most commonly cited sources agree on chrysanthemum as the main November 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 — topaz for the stone, Scorpio for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
