Astronomical events
All these dates are in a uniform time scale such as Terrestrial Time. When converted to our ordinary solar time or Universal Time, which is decidedly non-uniform, via ΔT, the dates would be a couple of days earlier. Furthermore, they are only astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered.
- 9106 November 5: Venus occults Regulus.
- 9168 November 21: Mean solar time and atomic time will be two days apart.
- 9361 August 4: Simultaneous annular solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.[1]
- 9622 February 4: Simultaneous annular solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.[1]
- 9682 November 16: Mercury occults Regulus.
- 9847 November 21: Mars occults Regulus.
- c. 9800: Earth's roughly 26,000 year route of axial precession returns to Deneb as the North star.[2]
- 9966 August 11: Simultaneous total solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.[1]
Year 10,000 problem
Software that encodes the CE / AD calendar year of a date as a four-character binary-coded decimal will no longer be able to encode the contemporaneous date. This problem may possibly occur from midnight on January 1, 10000.
Television
- In the Futurama episode "The Late Philip J. Fry", the Professor, Bender and Fry travel in the Professor's Time Machine, finding a post-apocalyptic future in the year 10,000.
- In The Simpsons episode "Replaceable You", Lisa Simpson says her science fair project proves that an asteroid will strike the Earth on July 15, 9789. To this Bart replies: "Who cares? I'll be President of Hell by then."
- In Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future frequently refers to 9595, being from this year.
Music
- In the song "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans, it is predicted that humankind will have exhausted all planetary resources by the year 9595.
gollark: I agree, arresting idiots who go around randomly setting important infrastructure on fire is a good idea.
gollark: Is this in response to something or just in general?
gollark: Yeeees, their whole thing with making GM crops not produce seeds or whatever it is isn't very good.
gollark: Plants have genetic variation naturally.
gollark: Even if that were true, GMOs aren't *that* different to non-genetically-modified versions.
