Donald Trump used Thursday’s daily coronavirus briefing to suggest disinfectants and UV light could treat #COVID19 - doctors and experts disagree.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

Credit to Pope Gregory’s Jesuit priests for figuring out the Julian calendar needed updating - before telescopes, and while Christendom was sure the Sun orbited Earth.

Fifty years later, Jesuits would prosecute Galileo for saying (and flaunting) that Earth orbits the Sun.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

By 1582, the Julian calendar, with a Leap Day every four years, had accumulated TEN extra days relative to Earth’s orbit. So Pope Gregory jump-started his new and exquisitely accurate calendar by canceling 10 days that year, in which October 4 was followed by October 15.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

The 1582 Gregorian update to the Julian Calendar prescribes: The century years 1600 1700 1800 1900 & 2000 are all divisible by four, but 1700 1800 1900 were not leap years, yet 1600 & 2000 were. And 2400 will be.

On February 29, 2000 most had no idea how rare that Leap Day was.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

The Leap Day alone overcorrects the calendar, requiring we remove a Leap Day every century year.

But that under-corrects the calendar, requiring we put a Leap Day back in, every four centuries.

Behold the Gregorian Calendar.
