Why is "History of crystallography before X-rays" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

The history of crystallography before X-rays describes how crystallography developed as a science up to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895. The scientific approach to the study of crystals began in the 17th century with the work of Kepler on the structure of snowflakes and Nicolas Steno's discovery that the angles between corresponding faces in a crystalline substance are always the same. The work René Just Haüy published in 1801 and 1802 marked the point where crystallography split from mineralogy to become a science of its own. Some sources state that the history of crystallography started with the investigation of X-ray diffraction by Max von Laue in 1912 but that ignores over a century of previous scientific work in the field.
