Jeremiahn is a simple calendar for Mars. This is a Christian calendar for Mars. It is the only Christian calendar for Mars, so far. This calendar also has variants to be used on every other planet and a few dwarfs. With the Gas Giant variants they are mostly for used on their moons. Each of my variants also has Christian aspects.

Eris is the largest dwarf planet[1]. Discovered in 2003 by astronomers at the California Institute of Technology, it is the most distant object ever seen in orbit around the Sun. Little is known about Eris.
Eris has a highly elliptical orbit and takes 560 E-y to go around the Sun—more than twice the time it takes Pluto. Its inclination is steep, tilted at 44° to the planetary plane. It also has an extremely eccentric orbit. It will be at its closest, actually coming inside par of Pluto’s orbit, in about 280 E-y.
As of yet, nothing is known about Eris’s atmosphere, however, it may be similar to Pluto’s.
Eris, with a surface covered in frozen methane, may be similar to Pluto and the Neptunian moon Triton. Observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope show Eris’s surface is almost white and uniform, reflecting 86 percent of the light that hits it. This makes it the most reflective body in the Solar System. The dwarf planet’s interior is likely a mixture of rock and ice.
Eris has one moon. It is officially called S/2005 (2003 UB313) 1. Unofficially, it is referred to as Gabrielle. Little is known about this object.
These are some comparison pictures.
This is so you can keep everything in perspective.



























A Historical log of the Sun

The Sun:



A handle-shaped cloud of plasma erupts from the Sun.
Our solar system’s star, the Sun, has inspired mythological stories in cultures around the world, including those of the ancient Egyptians, the Aztecs of Mexico, Native American tribes of North America, the Chinese, and many others. A number of ancient cultures built stone structures or modified natural rock formations to observe the Sun and Moon, they charted the seasons, created calendars, and monitored solar and lunar eclipses. These architectural sites show evidence of deliberate alignments to astronomical phenomena: sunrises, moonrises, moonsets, even stars or planets[1].
The Sun is the closest star to Earth, at a mean distance from our planet of 149.60 million kilometers. This distance is known as an astronomical unit (abbreviated AU), and sets the scale for measuring distances all across the solar system. The Sun is a huge sphere of mostly ionized gas that does supports life on Earth. It powers photosynthesis in green plants, and is ultimately the source of all food and fossil fuel. The connection and interactions between the Sun and Earth drive the seasons, ocean currents, weather, and climate.
The Sun is 332,900 times more massive than Earth and contains 99.86 percent of the mass of the entire solar system. It is held together by gravitational attraction, producing immense pressure and temperature at its core. The Sun has six regions - the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone in the interior; the visible surface, known as the photosphere; the chromosphere; and the outermost region, the corona.



The faint, tenuous solar corona can’t be easily seen from Earth.
At the core, the temperature is about 15 million degrees Celsius, which is sufficient to sustain thermonuclear fusion. The energy produced in the core powers the Sun and produces essentially all the heat and light we receive on Earth. Energy from the core bounces around the radiative zone, taking about 170,000 Earth years to get to the convective zone. The temperature drops below two million degrees Celsius in the convective zone, where large bubbles of hot plasma (a soup of ionized atoms) move upwards.
The Sun’s “surface” - the photosphere - is a 500-kilometer-thick region, from which most of the Sun’s radiation escapes outward and is detected as the sunlight we observe here on Earth about eight minutes after it leaves the Sun. Sunspots in the photosphere are areas with strong magnetic fields that are cooler, and thus darker, than the surrounding region. The temperature of the photosphere is about 5,500 degrees Celsius. Above the photosphere lie the tenuous chromosphere and the corona. Visible light from these top regions is usually too weak to be seen against the brighter photosphere, but during total solar eclipses, when the Moon covers the photosphere, the chromosphere can be seen as a red rim around the Sun and the corona forms a beautiful white halo.
Above the photosphere, the temperature increases with altitude, reaching temperatures as high as two million degrees Celsius. The source of coronal heating has been a scientific mystery for more than 50 Earth years. Likely solutions have emerged from observations by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) and the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) missions, which found patches of magnetic field covering the entire solar surface. Scientists now think that this magnetic “carpet” is probably a source of the corona’s intense heat. The corona cools rapidly, losing heat as radiation and in the form of the solar wind, a stream of charged particles that flows to the edge of the solar system.

Why explore, because the Sun is our nearest star. Solar activity affects us on Earth (electronics and communications on the ground and satellites in orbit can be affected by solar storms). Solar activity also affects human and robotic explorers traveling through our solar system. The Sun is the source of most of the light and heat in our solar system.

This is the Gregorian Calendar for Earth. This is the internationally accepted civil calendar for Earth. We have been using it since 1582[1]. A “day” is one rotation of Earth. A day is 24 h long; its year is 365.2425 E-d long. The clock counts 24 h before ticking to the next day. We use an A.M. and P.M. system. A.M. is ante meridian and P.M. is post meridian. A.M. is morning time and P.M. is evening time. The “day” is the base unit. The hour, minute, and second are used widely. The year is divided into 12 months spanning 28-31 E-d each. It has a 365 common year and a 366 leap year. This gives us what we understand[2]. I will give the origin of the month names after the table[3]. This calendar starts its year count with one[4]. This is a great calendar and does not need to be changed. Earth is 149,592,890 km (1.000 AU) from the Sun, giving us the year we know.
Earth is the fifth-largest planet and the third from the Sun. Its mass is 5,973,700,000,000,000,000,000 t. Earth’s equatorial diameter is 2303 km while its polar diameter is only 12711.1 km.
Earth is considered a solid mass, yet it has a large, liquid iron, magnetic core with a radius of 3475.44 km. Surprisingly, it has a solid inner core that may be a large iron crystal, with a radius of 1222.84 km. Around the core is a thick shell, or mantle, of dense rock. This mantle is composed of materials rich in iron and magnesium. It is somewhat plastic-like, and under slow steady pressure, it can flow like a liquid. The mantle, in turn, is covered by a thin crust forming the solid granite and basalt base of the continents and ocean basins. Over broad areas of Earth’s surface, the crust has a thin cover of sedimentary rock such as sandstone, shale, and limestone formed by weathering and by deposits of sands, clays, and plant and animal remains.

Earth, our home planet, is the only planet in our solar system known to harbor life - life that is incredibly diverse. All of the things we need to survive are provided under a thin layer of atmosphere that separates us from the uninhabitable void of space. Earth is made up of complex, interactive systems that are often unpredictable. Air, water, land, and life - including humans - combine forces to create a constantly changing world that we are striving to understand.
Viewing Earth from the unique perspective of space provides the opportunity to see Earth as a whole. Scientists around the world have discovered many things about our planet by working together and sharing their findings.
Some facts are well known. For instance, Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest in the solar system. Earth’s diameter is just a few hundred kilometers larger than that of Venus. The four seasons are a result of Earth’s axis of rotation being tilted more than 23 degrees.
The temperature inside this Earth increases about -17.22°C with every 30.48 to 60.96 m in depth, in the upper 100 km of Earth, and reaches nearly 4426.67 to 4982.22°C at the center. The heat is believed to come from radioactivity in the rocks, pressures within Earth, and the original heat of formation.
Earth’s atmosphere is a blanket composed of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and one percent argon. Present in minute quantities are carbon dioxide, hydrogen, neon, helium, krypton, and xenon. Water vapor displaces other gases and varies from nearly zero to about four percent by volume. The atmosphere rests on Earth’s surface with a weight equivalent to a layer of water 10.36 m deep. For about 91440 m upward, the gases remain in the proportions stated. Gravity holds the gases to Earth. The weight of the air compresses it at the bottom so that the greatest density is at Earth’s surface. Pressure and density decreases as height increases.

This is a time zone map (above): 1.
Greenwich Mean Time is the universal time. Greenwich is a town in Britain on the Prime Meridian of Earth. Each time zone is near a 15° E/W line[5]. In-fact that is the waters and sky rule: add or subtract an hour for every 15° E/W line crossed depending on direction traveled. Sun dials to recognized time zones, but not daylight savings time (DST). When the time zones were first getting started there was 1,669.756 km between each of them; measuring clockwise from Earth’s Origin Point (0° E/W, 0° N/S). They were made into the shapes they are now because of man. On the map on the previous page 25.4 mm = 1,577.725 km. For lunar time zones should Earth get a lunar colony: 454.513 km between each measuring clockwise around from its Origin Point. The lunar colony would still use the Gregorian for day-to-day planning of activities. The leap year on Earth falls every four Earth years, omitted every 100 E-y, and added back every 400 E-y. The leap day is February 29. The Gregorian is currently the most accurate calendar on Earth; its Ls is the anti-meridian the 180° line. The 180° is also what International Date Line follows. To remember the lengths of the months: “30 E-d has September, April, June and November; all others have 31 E-d; except February which has 28-29 E-d.” The Earth has a seven-day week cycle on the calendar for religious purposes. This makes religion easy. This week cycle has not been interrupted for millennia on Earth even with the calendar changes. It dates back to Biblical times. It is what we understand. Some other week cycles have been tried, but all others have been rejected by the public. We should stick with the seven-day week cycle.
The seven days in our week are:
7 E-d Name Meanings
1 Sunday Sun’s day
2 Monday Moon’s day
3 Tuesday Mars’ day
4 Wednesday Mercury’s day
5 Thursday Jupiter’s day
6 Friday Venus’ day
7 Saturday Saturn’s day
The Gregorian has an epoch of Jesus Christ’s birth; which is December 25, +0 E. JD count for the Gregorian current calculation is from November 23, -4713; JDN = (1461*(Y+4800+(M− 14)/12))/4+(367*(M−2−12*((M−14)/12)))/12−(3*((Y+4900+(M−14)/12)/100))/4+D–32075; which is 1,721,419 on Gregorian Tuesday, December 25, +0 E. Example: 2,455,101 on Gregorian September 26, +2009 E; the decimal of a JD is unimportant just drop the decimal, it’s a quirk. Y = current Earth year, M = current Earth month, and D = current Earth day; get information from calendar. JD count does not change from calendar to calendar or from planet to planet, it is always the same no matter where you are in the Universe. Astronomical Year Numbering is when a year 0 is used: A.D. dates remain the same and B.C. dates are pushed back a year (1, 2, 3, and 4 … B.C. is 0, -1, -2, and -3 …). Without this a year 0 would appear on the Gregorian. A.D. is Anno Domini in the year of Christ our Lord and B.C. is before Christ. The current Earth year is +2009 E. This calendar begins with January 1. This is a vernal equinox calendar, it is non-perpetual. The seasons fall like this: March 21 is vernal equinox, June 21 is summer solstice, September 21 is autumnal equinox, and December 21 is winter solstice; sometimes jump back or forward a day. January 4 is perihelion and July 4 is aphelion. There are many holidays on Earth. All of which can be gotten by looking at a calendar: Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Halloween just name a few. The Gregorian is the current calendar and has been since 1582. There are very few inaccuracies with the Gregorian. The Gregorian does have a lunar section, contrary to popular belief. It is a lunar-solar calendar, not just solar. The ages are start school at five Earth years, drive at 16 E-y, vote at and end school at 18 E-y, legal to drink alcohol at 21 E-y, and retire at 65 E-y. The length of a workday is 8 h. This is what we know.
Rough drafts information:
We have been tracking our planets progress every since man first said, “ur the Sun rises and it sets.” Truly I do not know how cavemen would have seen that or described it, but that is where the measuring of Earth-time began.
Calendars in widespread use today include the Gregorian calendar, which is the de facto international standard, and is used almost everywhere in the world for civil purposes, including in the People’s Republic of China and India (along with the Indian national calendar). Due to the Gregorian calendar’s obvious connotations of Western Christianity, non-Christians and even some Christians sometimes justify its use by replacing the traditional era notations “AD” and “BC” (“Anno Domini” and “Before Christ”) with “CE” and “BCE” (“Common Era” and “Before Common Era”). [I don’t care how much this may offend others, but I will never stop using the traditional era notations. In my opinion those are the only correct era notations.] The Hindu calendars are some of the most ancient calendars of the world. Eastern Christians of Eastern Europe and western Asia used for a long time the Julian calendar, which of the old Orthodox Church, in countries likes Russia. For over 1500 years, Westerners used the Julian calendar also. While the Gregorian calendar is widely used in Israel’s business and day-to-day affairs, the Hebrew calendar, used by Jews worldwide for religious and cultural affairs, also influences civil matters in Israel (such as national holidays) and can be used there for business dealings (such as for the dating of checks).
The Iranian (Persian) calendar is used in Iran and Afghanistan. The Islamic calendar is used by most non-Iranian Muslims worldwide. The Chinese, Hebrew, Hindu, and Julian calendars are widely used for religious and/or social purposes. The Ethiopian calendar or Ethiopic calendar is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In Thailand, where the Thai solar calendar is used, the months and days have adopted the western standard, although the years are still based on the traditional Buddhist calendar.
Even where there is a commonly used calendar such as the Gregorian calendar, alternate calendars may also be used, such as a fiscal calendar or the astronomical year numbering system.
Fiscal calendars:
A fiscal calendar (such as a 4/4/5 calendar) fixes each month at a specific number of weeks to facilitate comparisons from month to month and year to year. January always has exactly 4 weeks (Sunday through Saturday), February has 4 weeks, March has 5 weeks, etc. Note that this calendar will normally need to add a 53rd week to every 5th or 6th year, which might be added to December or might not be, depending on how the organization uses those dates. There exists an international standard way to do this (the ISO week). The ISO week starts on a Monday, and ends on a Sunday. Week 1 is always the week that contains 4 January in the Gregorian calendar.
Fiscal calendars are also used by businesses. This is where the fiscal year is just any set of 12 months. This set of 12 months can start and end at any point on the Gregorian calendar. This is the most common usage of fiscal calendars.
Applications information:
The applications for this calendar are used in everyday life. Some examples of this are in fiscal years and in schools’ academic years. Below is a table of Earth’s United States school system set up. I would like to suggest a millisecond counter for Earth’s clock.
You run into this calendar everywhere you go on Earth. It is Earth’s de facto civil calendar. So the uses are quite wide ranged. There really ain’t a better way to explain it. Earth’s color will be green for the purpose of interplanetary use. To be born anywhere in the universe whether orbiting a star or not Earth-time is the default for the human race. Although a JD count would not change no matter where you are in the universe it is hard to measure age with a JD count in my experience. The JD count would be used for interplanetary trade, commerce, and business. This will be to keep every on the same plane of time. So as to not be too confusing all JD counts will be shown along with the planet and Earth times for wherever the product is being shipped from.

Human evolution does occur. We were created by God (Jehovah) whose son is Jesus Christ, in the beginning; in His image. After this occurred evolution started; so that the humans that are alive today are not the same humans that God created. This is what I believe. Scientists cannot find a “missing link” because there ain’t a “missing link!!” Humans did not evolve from apes, humans evolved from themselves (other humans). Below is a table of humanities evolution.

Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Primates
Family Hominidae
Genus Sahelanthropus, Orrorin, Ardipithecus, Kenyanthropus, Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo
Species spp.
Yes as you can see I do believe that humans are primates, but we did not evolve from any other kind of primate. We evolved from ourselves. There is no “missing link.” All species listed above are humans, period. Here is what scientists classified these species as:
S. tchadensis; O. tugenensis; Ar. ramidus; Ar. kadabba; K. platyops; Au. anamensis; Au. afarensis;
Au. bahrelghazali; Au. africanus; Au. garhi; P. aethiopicus; P. boisei; P. robustus; H. habilis;
H. rudolfensis; H. georgicus; H. ergaster; H. erectus, H. e. lantianensis, H. e. palaeojavanicus,
H. e. pekinensis, H. e. nankinensis, H. e. wushanensis, H. e. yuanmouensis, H. e. soloensis;
H. cepranensis; H. antecessor; H. heidelbergensis; H. neanderthalensis; H. rhodesiensis;
H. floresiensis; and H. sapiens, H. s. idaltu, H. s. sapiens
This is what modern man currently is: H. s. sapiens. This is what I believe we’re fated to evolve into next for Earth-bound humans only: H. superior, H. robustus. You do not have to agree with me; truly I do not care if you do. The H. superior may already exist; they are the people with special brain powers like: telekinesis, telepathy, precognitions, teleportation, etc. There are also the people with physical mutations, which act as benefits. The H. robustus does not exist yet because cyborgs, people with artificial computerized limbs/body-parts, have not started to be well born with them; that or humans haven’t gotten to the point where we are genetically engineering our offspring yet. One of those two things would have to occur in-order for H. robustus to exist. The life span of a human is: 120 E-y[6].

Here’s another calendar that I have been working on to track time on Earth. This particular calendar is based on the Zodiac System. I used this system just because it’s familiar and simple to understand. I think that this particular calendar would be a little more accurate than the Gregorian we have now. I call this calendar the Jeremiahn Earth Zodiac Calendar, Jeremiahn Variant Calendar Eight. The following table shows you how this calendar works.

I have it setup so that the leap day falls on Pisces when the year is divisible by four unless it’s a centurial year. Leap centurial years only occur when the centurial year is divisible by 400. The leap days shown in the table above are trying to make them fall on the same day that our leap year falls on. This is how it works for the traditional system. The only difference in the drift system is that the leap day falls in Aquarius instead of Pisces. The reason I have it setup this way is so that the leap day lines up with the one on the Gregorian. The year numbering for this calendar is identical to that in the Gregorian calendar. This means that if the current year is 2011 then it is still numbered 2011 even on this system. As you can see this calendar begins with the vernal equinox, which means that the years don’t change with Gregorian, which is for the traditional calendar. The vernal equinox for the drift calendar is Pisces 3. The vernal equinox on the sidereal version of my calendar is Pisces 5. I think that this makes this calendar more accurate. I am not sure that my drift calculations will hold out over time, you may need to recalculate those every now and then. I think it is ok for now though. I ran some numbers for a sidereal version of this calendar as well.

A Calendar Variant for Ceres

a. Ceres: 413,832,587 km (2.766 AU) 1 Jeremiahn Variant
Distance from the Sun
Perihelion 380,995,855 km (2.55 AU)
Mean distance 413,832,587 km (2.77 AU)
Period of revolution around Sun 4.6 E-y
Orbital eccentricity 0.0789
Orbital inclination 10.58°
Sidereal day 9.075 h
Mean radius 482.7 km




Ceres was the first asteroid ever discovered, on January 1, 1801, by Guiseppe Piazzi[1]. In the 1800s, it was considered a planet, but as more asteroids were discovered, it lost that designation. In August of 2006, it was designated a “dwarf planet” by the International Astronomical Union.
No probe has ever visited Ceres. NASA’s DAWN space probe, launched in September 2007, may become the first. The DAWN probe’s mission is to Vesta and Ceres, the Solar System’s two largest asteroids. When DAWN arrives at Ceres in February 2015, months before New Horizons probe arrives at Pluto, it will be the first mission to study a dwarf planet.
Ceres orbits the Sun in the asteroid belt region between Mars and Jupiter.
It is not known if Ceres has an atmosphere. However, it may be similar to the atmosphere on Mercury or the Earth’s Moon. It has a sidereal day length of 9.075 h[2].
Ceres is in a class of stony meteorites known as carbonaceous chondrites. These are considered to be the oldest materials in the Solar System, with a composition reflecting that of the primitive solar nebula. Extremely dark in color, probably because of their hydrocarbon content, they show evidence of having absorbed water of hydration. Thus, unlike the Earth and the Moon, they have never either melted or been reheated since they first formed.
If a calendar was designed for Ceres it would have to be designed around the sidereal day, because the solar day has not been measured. I have estimated a solar day for Ceres to be 9.394 h. The calendar for convenience would have a trisol as its base unit. The trisol would be 28.18261 h long or 28 h 10' 57.4" long. I do think that this dwarf planet would be a perfect colonial candidate if we wanted to mine the Asteroid Belt. Its orbit is 4.6 E-y or 1,680.1155 E-d or 1,430.768346 C-ld. I will divide this calendar into 4 segments, w/ each segment being 357-358 C-ld long each. I would divide each segment into 12 months of about 30 C-ld long each. This is simple and easy to understand for everyone to grasp. This calendar does start with one on its year count. This calendar uses the English zodiac on its Zodiacal months. This is an easy calendar. This is simple and easy to understand. I find it quite easy to grasp. A common year on Ceres is 1,430 C-ld and a leap year 1,431 C-ld; a regular segment is 357 C-ld and a irregular segment is 358 C-ld. Ceres is 413,832,587 km (2.77 AU) from the Sun, which gives it a longer year.
The 4 Segments in my Cererian year are:
#. Segments Spans
Names Months C-ld
1. Alpha 12 357-358
2. Beta 12 358
3. Serpentarius 12 357
4. Omega 12 358
The 12 months in each segment of my Cererian year are:
#. Months Spans
1. January 30
2. February 29-30
3. March 30
4. April 30
5. May 29
6. June 30
7. July 30
8. August 30
9. September 29
10. October 30
11. November 30
12. December 30
Now I will calculate the calendar’s leap Cererian year. Its leap Cererian year will fall: every 2 C-y, omitted every 100 C-y. The leap trisol is February 30 in Alpha. This calendar has an accuracy of 4,677,789 C-y, its Ls is the anti-meridian. To remember the lengths of the months say: “30 C-ld has all months; May and September also have 29 C-ld, except February which has 30 C-ld in irregular segments only otherwise it has 29 C-ld.” Eventually if the colony ever got big enough we would need to develop Cererian 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. The shape was produced by limb fitting from a subset of 217 images. The shape of Ceres was found to be an oblate spheroid. The planet centric coordinate is defined based on the pole orientation of Ceres, and the prime meridian is defined on a bright spot, Claudia, at about 10 deg north latitude[3]. I will leave the naming of these time zones up to someone else, as well as the official placement of them. When measuring from the Ceres’ Origin Point (0º E/W, 0º N/S) going clockwise there is 105.9 km between each time zone. The diameter of Ceres is about 950 km and it alone makes up one third of the asteroid belt's total mass[4]. Ceres has a circumference of 2,985 km. To our knowledge Ceres has no moons, but this same calendar would be used for any colony anywhere in the asteroid belt. This calendar does keep the religious seven-trisol week-cycle.
7 C-ld Name Meaning
1 Suntrisol Sunday
2 Vestatrisol Vesta’s day
3 Tuestrisol Tuesday
4 Wednestrisol Wednesday
5 Thurstrisol Thursday
6 Fritrisol Friday
7 Saturtrisol Saturday
This will make it more acceptable for the religious groups, making religion on Ceres and other places in the asteroid belt easy. Vesta is another asteroid in the asteroid belt, and the closet thing that Ceres has to a moon, so it gets a trisol in the week all to itself. On Ceres the GMT equivalent is Claudia Mean Time; this will establish other time zones. The epoch I will use is Jesus Christ’s birth. The JD count is 1,721,419. The epoch formula for Ceres is: ((y*365.2425*24)/ 28.18261)/ 1,430.768346; y = current Earth year, round to nearest whole number. This would make current Ceres year be +437 C. +437 C started on January 1, +2009 E and will end on July 6, +2013 E; July 7, +2013 E will start +438 C. This calendar begins with January 1. This is a Vernal Equinox calendar for Ceres, it is non-perpetual. The seasons will fall like this: March 21 in Alpha is Vernal Equinox, March 21 in Beta is Summer Solstice, March 21 in Serpentarius is Autumnal Equinox, and March 21 in Omega is Winter Solstice; all jump back a sol on leap Ceres years. July 7 in Alpha is aphelion and October 7 in Serpentarius is perihelion. I did not make any holitrisols for this planet. There are no inaccuracies in my calculations. This will be more accepted by religious groups. NASA has currently not decided on an independent calendar to use for timekeeping on Ceres. I am the only one to have created a calendar for Ceres. The age equivalencies are start school at one Ceres years, drive at three Ceres years, vote at and end school at four Ceres years, get drunk at five Ceres years, and retire at 14 C-y. The length of a worktrisol is 9 h 23' 39". This is simple. The name of my calendar for Ceres is Jeremiah Calendar Variant Ten.

About Me

I am a Christian!! I am also a scientist, and I find more logic in Christianity than atheism. I have only been a Christian since I was 14, when I was baptized. I pretty good at astronomy, and happen to be a big sci-fi fan. The thing I am major good at is accounting, handling other people's money. I am currently going after my CPA. And after I get that I will get an associates in astronomy. I am batmanfanforever08 on YouTube; the "audio clip" is my YouTube channel. I am on Facebook, the "my web page" is my Facebook page. These blogs will be included in the book I am writing (assuming I ever get around to finishing it): "Listening to the Nonsense" or "Tracking Planet Time for our Solar System".
