It's an electromagnet. But why is it significant today?

I'm including a screen-shot in case different regions get different graphics.

I saw that earlier today and clicked on it thinking it might have something to do with Les Paul inventing the electric guitar pickup and the electric guitar. RIP Les.

It is to commemorate the birthday of Hans Christian Ørsted

Ahh, gotcha. I actually checked Sturgeon's--who's credited with inventing the electromagnet--birthday earlier and it was in May.
