By creating a calendar system using 3 years of 365 days and 1 year of
366 days ,the astronomers from antiquity did our era a huge favor outside the equal day/calendar system itself by allowing the annual cycle to drift ahead of the daily cycles,and this is implicit in their time reckoning allowing people in this era to consider rotation separate from the orbital motion of the Earth.The fractional 5 hour 49 minute difference omitted each year from the point of view of the steady progression of 24 hour rotations each non-leap year therefore represents a fractional orbital distance against a full orbital circuit remembering that 365 1/4 days and 365 1/4 rotations represent near enough (11 minute difference) a full orbital circuit. Those who wish to dwell with a false 366 1/4 rotations in 365 1/4 days are free to do so but with so many astronomical anniversaries and major events ahead,those who do choose to come back home to astronomy and show the wider population what it can really do in addition to imaging will restore a badly shaken belief in science,scientists and their intellectual integrity. |
