Friendly Humanist

That season is upon us again.

I’m talking, of course, of the busiest months in the Cosmic Calendar. For those who don’t know what the Cosmic Calendar is, please see my earlier posts on the topic (starting here).

I’ve added a list of upcoming Cosmic Calendar events to the (increasingly busy) sidebar on the right.

Today (4.6 billion years ago), the Solar System begins to form. In a day or two, the Earth will have formed (4.5 billion years ago). I apologize for not having more to say right now – this kind of snuck up on me, and I still have limited Internet access outside of work. Check out last year’s post for a little more background on today’s anniversary.

(Also see last year’s post on Earth’s birthday. If anyone has any insight into the bizarre claim made in the comments, please let me know. It still baffles me. I don’t know if I could have responded more constructively.)
