"Out of the Ashes: Recovering the Lost Library of Herculaneum" [ 44 ] is a KBYU-TV documentary that traces the history of the Herculaneum papyri from the time of the eruption to their discovery in 1752 to modern developments ...
A graphical view of the Cosmic Calendar, featuring the months of the year, days of December, the final minute, and the final second. The Cosmic Calendar is a method to visualize the chronology of the universe, scaling its currently understood age of 13.8 billion years to a single year in order to help intuit it for pedagogical purposes in science education or popular science.
Buried in ash after Mount Vesuvius’ eruption in 79AD, the secret of a papyrus scroll kept their secrets hidden for centuries. Now one has been deciphered by AI.
The most important discovery at Herculaneum was that of the “last fugitive” which occurred in 2021: a skeleton of a man of around 40 years of age who was probably trying to escape towards the ...
A variation of this analogy instead compresses Earth's 4.6 billion year-old history into a single day: While the Earth still forms at midnight, and the present day is also represented by midnight, the first life on Earth would appear at 4:00 am, dinosaurs would appear at 10:00 pm, the first flowers 10:30 pm, the first primates 11:30 pm, and ...
The basic time periods from which the calendar is constructed are the Martian solar day (sometimes called a sol) and the Martian vernal equinox year.The sol is 39 minutes 35.244 seconds longer than the Terrestrial solar day, and the Martian vernal equinox year is 668.5907 sols in length (which corresponds to 686.9711 days on Earth).
Earth orbits the sun in a slightly uneven circle, keeping an average distance of 93 million miles. Mars’s orbit is much more elliptical—with an aphelion, or furthest remove from the sun, of ...
