A Calendar Variant for Jupiter
I see no reasons why each moon of Jupiter should have its own calendar[1]. It seems much more reasonable to design the calendar for Jupiter not its moons. This is the Jeremiahn Variant Calendar for Jupiter also known as Jeremiahn Variant Calendar Two. If we had a colony on Earth’s moon you would use the Gregorian or Earth calendar for daily planning, not a calendar based on the Moon like the Chinese. The Darian variations do not do this[2]. He made each moon have its own calendar. I am not saying his calendars are bad, I am just saying I would not have done it that way. Of course this calendar is for the moons of Jupiter, only because we have not crunch enough satellites into Jupiter to put a colony on it. They are some very surprising facts about Jupiter when trying to make a calendar for its moons[3]. NASA recognizes this as Jupiter’s official rotation: 9.926 h (9 h 55' 33"), so the length I will use is that times three: 29.778 h (29 h 46' 39"). This is a “trisol.” The “trisol” is the base unit. The trisol is 5 h 46' 40.8" longer than a day. Two is if you take the orbit of Jupiter, 11.9 E-y, and put it in days and divide that by 10 you get 434.639 E-d. You take that number and put it in hours and divide that by the trisol you get 350.303 J-ld (350 J-ld 9 h 1' 32.88"). The Jupiter year is divided into 10 segments of this length. The Jupiter year and segment are written together like this {J-y: segment}, do this for calendar year and measuring other things such as people’s age. I do realize that the segment and Jupiter's deciyear are the same length, so that means there are two other ways to express the year: with a decimal point or with the name of the segment. But there is only two ways to express age: with the decimal point or with the colon. The clock for this calendar uses our hours, minutes, and seconds. We will count 29 h 46' 39" before ticking to the next trisol. This clock does use a millisecond counter. It is good to preserve our hours, minutes, and seconds; because not doing so would make measuring time way too confusing. This is because people would forget to state which planet they are talking about. I do not know about you, but that would confuse me. So it is just simpler to keep our hours, minutes, and seconds. This would make time measurements much simpler to understand, especially when talking in the scope of a single day. Each segment has 12 months; span 29-30 J-ld each. [4]This calendar does start with one on its Jupiter year count. A 350 J-ld regular segment and a 351 J-ld irregular segment. A common Jupiter year has 10 regular segments and a leap Jupiter year has nine regular segments and one irregular segment. Jupiter is 778,412,020 km (5.203 AU) from the Sun, which gives it a longer year.
Jupiter, named for the Roman ruler of the gods, is the largest planet in the Solar System (11 times the diameter of Earth). Its mass is more than twice the mass of all the other planets, moons, and asteroids put together. Visible to the naked eye and known to the ancients, it was a focus of the Italian scientist of Galileo Galilei who viewed the planet and its four largest moons through a homemade telescope.
The 10 Segments in my Jovian year are:
#. segments spans
name months J-ld
1. Alpha 12 350-351
2. Beta 12 350
3. Draco 12 350
4. Lynx 12 350
5. Hercules 12 350
6. Serpentarius 12 350
7. Phoenix 12 350
8. Pegasus 12 350
9. Perseus 12 350
10. Omega 12 350
The 12 months in each segment of my Jovian year are:
#. months spans
1. January 29
2. February 29-30
3. March 30
4. April 29
5. May 29
6. June 30
7. July 29
8. August 29
9. September 29
10. October 29
11. November 29
12. December 29
Now I will calculate the calendar’s leap Jupiter year. Its leap Jupiter year will fall: every 12 J-y, omitted every 100 J-y. The leap trisol is February 30 in Alpha. This calendar has an accuracy of 4,677,789 J-y, its Ls is the anti-meridian. To remember the lengths of the months say: “29 J-ld has all months; March and June also have 30 J-ld, except February which has 30 J-ld in irregular segments only otherwise it has 29 J-ld.” Eventually if the colony ever got big enough we would need to develop Jovian time zones as well. I would do this similar to the Earth’s time zones; which is add or subtract an hour every 15° E/W of the Prime Meridian, respectively. Jupiter and its moons already have Equators and Prime Meridians. Someone else will name these time zones. On Jupiter the GMT equivalent is Zero Mean Time. Zero refers to being 0º E/W of Jupiter’s Prime Meridian. When measuring from the Jupiter’s Origin Point (0º E/W, 0º N/S) going clockwise there is 16,615.534 km between each time zone. Since Jupiter has no surface colonists would be required to live in flying cities. When talking about lunar time zones, Jupiter has several moons; so to establish the standard for the moons I will average the diameters of each grouping of the moons. The Amalthea group has an average diameter of 81.25 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 9.454 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. The Galilean moons have an average diameter of 4,217.35 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 490.711 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. Prograde non-group moons average diameter of 14 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 1.629 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. The Himalia group has an average diameter of 78 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 9.076 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. Retrograde non-group moons average diameter of 1.5 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 0.175 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. The Carme group has an average diameter of 6.538 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 0.761 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. The Ananke group has an average diameter of 7.571 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 0.881 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise. The Pasiphaë group has an average diameter of 17.286 km, so time zones on these moons will cover 2.011 km each measuring from their Origin Points going around them clockwise[5]. This calendar is to have a seven-trisol week-cycle, so that it is liked by the religious groups. This is contrast to Thomas Gangale’s eight circadian week-cycles on each of his lunar calendars for Jupiter. Being that this is Jupiter I am tempted to have Thursday at beginning of its week. This is because with the Gregorian Sunday is at the beginning of the calendar week, and the sun is our primary. Jupiter is there primary, so it just makes logical since.
The seven trisols in my Jovian week are:
7 J-ld name meaning
1 Suntrisol Sunday (weekend)
2 Mondetrisol Moons’ day
3 Tuestrisol Tuesday
4 Wednestrisol Wednesday
5 Neptuntrisol Neptune’s day
6 Fritrisol Friday
7 Saturtrisol Saturday (weekend).
This calendar’s epoch is Jesus Christ’s birth. The JD count is 1,721,419. The epoch formula for Jupiter is: ((y*365.2425*24)/29.778)/3503.09; y = current Earth year, round to nearest whole number. This would make the current Jupiter year be +169:01 J, +169.0 J, or +169 in Alpha J. +169:01 J, +169.0 J, or +169 in Alpha J started on January 1, +2009 E and will end on March 11, +2010 E; March 12, +2010 E will start +169:02 J, +169.1 J, or +169 in Beta J. This calendar begins on January 1 in each segment. The Jupiter year begins with January 1 in Alpha. This is a non-perpetual calendar for Jupiter; it is a Vernal Equinox Calendar. With this set up I can track the actual seasons on Jupiter. The Jupiter year is divided into four seasons. The seasons fall: Vernal Equinox is February 6 in Alpha, Summer Solstice is June 2 in Lynx, Autumn Equinox is June 2 in Phoenix, and Winter Solstice is June 2 in Omega; all jump back a trisol on leap Jupiter years. Now the holitrisols are as follows: April 16 in Beta is Jupiter Trisol, January 28 in Draco is Exploration Trisol, and Foundation Trisol is the trisol that the first colony is established on Jupiter and/or its moons. Each moon will have its own Foundation Trisol which will fall according to the definition. These are good holitrisols. My reasoning for basing the calendar on Jupiter and not each individual moon is as follows: they’re moons of Jupiter with locked orbits. None of these moons rotate, in that case and only that I’d base the calendar on the moon not its primary. If we had a colony on Earth’s Moon the colonists would use the Earth calendar, Gregorian, not the Chinese for day to day activities and planning. So this makes it logically to design a calendar for the Jovian moons based on Jupiter not each individual moon. NASA currently doesn’t use an independent calendar for timekeeping on Jupiter and/or its moons. The age equivalencies are start school at five segments, drive at 1:03 J-y, vote at and end school at 1:05 J-y, get drunk at 1:07 J-y, and retire at 5:04 J-y. Or the age equivalencies are start school at 0.4 J-y, drive at 1.2 J-y, vote at and end school at 1.4 J-y, get drunk at 1.6 J-y, and retire at 5.3 J-y. The length of a worktrisol is 9 h 55' 53.6". This is simple[6][7][8][9][10].

When I first developed a calendar for Jupiter I made it to where it did not cover the entire Jupiter year. Instead my first calendar I proposed covered a length similar, but much longer than the Earth year. It was called the Jeremiahn Earth-Length Calendar (One) for Jupiter. It did not track any seasonal changes for Jupiter. It did have arbitrary four phases on it similar in length to Earth’s seasons. It was not very accurate at all. This one’s months were the same as the Earth months or they were the Sanskrit Zodiac. This one’s true length was: 351.233 J-ld or 395.126 E-d; each month was about 29.27 J-ld. The second calendar I came up with was similar in length to Mars, but still yet longer than a Mars year. It was called the Jeremiahn Mars-Length Calendar (One) for Jupiter. It did not track any seasonal changes for Jupiter. It did have arbitrary four phases on it similar in length to Mars’ seasons. It was not very accurate at all. This one’s months were the same as the Mars months or they were slightly different. This one’s true length was: 641.714 J-ld, 721.93 E-d, or 702.61 M-d; each month was about 26.74 J-ld. Before I proposed a “full length calendar” the trisol for Jupiter was only 27 h, then I checked my math and found out that it should be 29.778 h. The first calendar I proposed that actually covered the entire Jupiter year was the Jeremiahn 12-month Stretch Calendar (One) for Jupiter. Like its name suggests it took only 12 months of arbitrary lengths and stretched them to fit the length of one Jupiter year. It tracked actual seasonal changes for Jupiter. This one had the same months as the Earth-Length Calendar (One). Each month on here had about: 291.92 J-ld. Then there was the Jeremiahn 24-month Stretch Calendar (One) for Jupiter. This one had the same months as the Mars-Length Calendar (One). Each month on here had about: 145.96 J-ld. Then there was the Jeremiahn 119-month Calendar. Each month on here had about: 29.44 J-ld. After all this I finally got a good system: the Jeremiahn Variant Calendar Two. This is the one thoroughly explained in this book. Their lengths were the same as the current one thoroughly explained in this book. Our fixed year is 169.5 J, so 169.6 J will start on March 9, 2018 E, and end on May 18, 2019 E.

To talk evolution, I believe that people born on this planet could evolve into: Homo iupeter, H. i. sirenomelia. Anyways people would set up everything to this calendar. The fiscal year would become just a cycle of any 10 calendar segments. When shipping between planets though everything would converted to the JD count or Earth-time. Now to talk the academic year, this would be quite different from Earth. So as to not get confused in the table below I will equate it to Earth-time for you.

The importance of these applications is: because you were born on a different planet. If we were to measure you age in Earth-time we would not be getting an accurate image of how old you actually are. By setting everything to the new planet, Jupiter, an accurate image of age and operations is given. The operations image explains why companies would set their fiscal year to the planet time, Jupiter. Without it set to planet time, Jupiter, and not Earth-time you would not get an accurate image of these company/business operations. As far as holidays/holitrisols go there calendar would show both. The holidays on Jupiter, most of them would be celebrated 10 times a year; the holitrisols would be celebrated once per year. This would allow each holiday to occur once per segment. The life span of a human is: 10.1 J-y.
The planet time is secondary. The planet time is tracked independently from Earth-time, but it is not shown apart from Earth-time. Therefore color codes are used: Jupiter is teal, Earth is green.
The way these calendars would be sold is near the end of the Jupiter year, because it is longer than an Earth year. The color coded remains the same for the clocks. All planet time clocks are digital, there is no “a.m./p.m.” style for Jupiter. The clocks just count 29 h 46' 39". Computers meant for Jupiter would show time the same way. One and half Jupiter-sol is shown as on the clock 14h53'20.400" and One Trisol is shown as 29h46'39.000". All Earth-time is shown in GMT. The Jupiter time zones are arbitrary time zones; they are not set up to the Jupiter coordinate system.
If someone was born on Jupiter their birth certificate would read:
“Name: Walter William Wilson ###-##-####

The birth certificate example above only includes what would be different between a regular Earth birth certificate and a birth certificate for someone born on this planet, Jupiter. Next I will show you an example of what that same person’s divers license would look like, enlarged picture not included. All names in these examples are fake.

This is contrast to Thomas Gangale’s eight circadian week-cycles on each of his lunar calendars for Jupiter. Being that this is Jupiter I am tempted to have Thursday at beginning of its week.

To talk evolution, I believe that people born on this planet could evolve into: Homo iupeter, H. i. sirenomelia. Anyways people would set up everything to this calendar. The fiscal year would become just a cycle of any 10 calendar segments. When shipping between planets though everything would converted to the JD count or Earth-time. Now to talk the academic year, this would be quite different from Earth. So as to not get confused in the table below I will equate it to Earth-time for you.

The importance of these applications is: because you were born on a different planet. If we were to measure you age in Earth-time we would not be getting an accurate image of how old you actually are. By setting everything to the new planet, Jupiter, an accurate image of age and operations is given. The operations image explains why companies would set their fiscal year to the planet time, Jupiter. Without it set to planet time, Jupiter, and not Earth-time you would not get an accurate image of these company/business operations. As far as holidays/holitrisols go there calendar would show both. The holidays on Jupiter, most of them would be celebrated 10 times a year; the holitrisols would be celebrated once per year. This would allow each holiday to occur once per segment. The life span of a human is: 10.1 J-y.
The planet time is secondary. The planet time is tracked independently from Earth-time, but it is not shown apart from Earth-time. Therefore color codes are used: Jupiter is teal, Earth is green.
The way these calendars would be sold is near the end of the Jupiter year, because it is longer than an Earth year. The color coded remains the same for the clocks. All planet time clocks are digital, there is no “a.m./p.m.” style for Jupiter. The clocks just count 29 h 46' 39". Computers meant for Jupiter would show time the same way. One and half Jupiter-sol is shown as on the clock 14h53'20.400" and One Trisol is shown as 29h46'39.000". All Earth-time is shown in GMT. The Jupiter time zones are arbitrary time zones; they are not set up to the Jupiter coordinate system.
If someone was born on Jupiter their birth certificate would read:
“Name: Walter William Wilson ###-##-####
Place: New Dallas, United States Jupiter Europa Colony #####
Room ### St. John’s Hospital #### Federal Street
When: June 6, +2026 E @ 2:56 p.m. or May 11, +170.3 J @ 11h27'39.836"”
The birth certificate example above only includes what would be different between a regular Earth birth certificate and a birth certificate for someone born on this planet, Jupiter. Next I will show you an example of what that same person’s divers license would look like, enlarged picture not included. All names in these examples are fake.
