I guess auspicious in terms of he turned out to be a great physicist - and therefore the date became pertinent.
Had he been, for example, a ballet dancer it wouldnt have been quite so interesting.
Also, whilst there are 365 days to be born on how many great physicists are there? And how many are born on the centenary of a previous great physicists death? The odds for that is a lot higher than 1/365 :)
