Fred’s Red, Reid’s Lead and God’s Nod… ?!

 Recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site under June 1, is another addition to the recent “1st Day” pattern cluster., note his info: 

Fred Espenak, (August 1, 1953 – June 1, 2025) 71, astrophysicist

WHOA!! His name Fred is an addition to the recent “Rhyme Theme/Read, Dead, Red, Fred” pattern cluster.   Note from my earlier post today, S.Ö.B., Better R.E.A.D. Than D.E.A.D., where I had last updated the  more detailed 1st Day cluster:

  This is definitely a twin heads up, especially when considering the recent “First Day” pattern cluster that has cropped up since May 1, 2025 among the birthdays of those listed on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site.  The last three to have cropped up generate an “April 1, May 1, June 1/ 1st Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster: 

• Sir Robert Reid (1 May 1934 - 28 May 2025) 91, chairman British Railways Board 
• Prasanna Pattnaik (born 1 June 1948– 29 May 2025) 76, Odisha MLA
• Francesco Mallardo (1 April 1951– May 29, 2025) 74, Italian mobster

“January 1(x6), __, March 1(x3), April 1(x6), May 1(x4), June 1(x2), July 1(x4), August 1(x4), September 1(x3), October 1(x3), November 1(x2), December 1(x2)/ 1st Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster.

So the cluster expands now into a : 

“January 1(x6), __, March 1(x3), April 1(x6), May 1(x4), June 1(x2), July 1(x4), August 1(x5), September 1(x3), October 1(x3), November 1(x2), December 1(x2)/ 1st Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster. 

Note this excerpt from Fred’s wiki page that stood out:  

He was employed at Goddard Space Flight Center

The name Goddard is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster and so making “odd” and  “God”, with God in turn being an addition to the recent “Religious/Christian Theme” pattern cluster.  Note the following info from the Centers wiki page, and then its namesake: 

 The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is a major NASA space research laboratory located approximately 6.5 miles (10.5 km) northeast of Washington, D.C., in Greenbelt, Maryland, United States. Established on May 1, 1959, Named for American rocket propulsion pioneer: 

Robert H. Goddard (October 5, 1882 – August 10, 1945)

He died on the day of the year where 222 days remain… a particular inner twin signature.
