Are There 52 Weeks or 53 Weeks in a Year? Depends. Today, we’re exploring the calendar - another human invention that breaks down time, but into larger chunks called months, weeks and days of a particular time period. Various civilizations around the globe have contributed time measurement systems throughout the ages. They don’t all agree, but the one focus that unites humanity in tracking time is that throughout history we have kept our eyes on the sky - on the movement of the sun and moon, the planets and constellations.

Leap Year is patently ridiculous and widely panned. It’s also the perfect romcom Starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode as enemies-to-lovers, this very American portrait of Ireland happens to be charming

#LeapYear is, without a doubt, the best terrible romantic comedy of all time. Either the Guardian is running 16 years late, or it’s just been added to Netflix.

Happy Unbirthday to Pochacco!

How old are you in dog years if your birthday is only every 4 years? He premiered in 1989 and his birthday is February 29th. He's too much of a go getter for me.

The #FlourMassacre in the #GazaStrip is a #LeapYear bonus; it happened, not on #ThisDayInHistory in 2024, but on 29 Feb. #IDF troops opened fire on #Palestinians queuing up for food aid, killing 118 and wounding 760. Israel continues to use hunger as a tool of colonial #genocide.

Welp since we’re not in a Leap Year, today I’ll leave this Fun Fact:

TWO films won #Oscars  BP on February 29th during a #LeapYear:
#GoneWithTheWind - 1940
#TheReturnOfTheKing - 2004

The last #leapyear was 2024. So 2028 will be our next leap year, a 366-day-long year, with an extra day added to our calendar (February 29). We’ll call that extra day a leap day. Why do we need the extra day? 🤔 Blame Earth’s orbit. Read more about leap years at: buff.ly/iE2htQg

February 2026 is next month and it has a #FridayTheThirteenth.

Every non- #leapyear February with such a Friday leads into a March also with a Friday the Thirteenth, back-to-back. This is because non-29-day Februaries have exactly 28 days—four weeks.

This last happened in 2015, 11 years ago.

“Love is not about perfection, it’s about persistence in imperfection together.”

A #leapYear starting on #Wednesday is any year with 366 days (i.e. it includes #29February) that begins on Wednesday 1 #January and ends on #Thursday 31 #December. Its #dominicalLetters hence are ED. The most recent year of such kind was 2020, and the next one will be 2048 in the #GregorianCalendar.

The #JulianCalendar, used almost unchanged to this day, first took effect on #ThisDayInHistory in 45 BCE. Named for dictator #JuliusCaesar, it set 1 January as the new start to the year. The #GregorianCalendar fixed a #LeapYear error, but otherwise preserved the #Roman calendar.

thanks, leap years. why did no one teach me this?! #dataanalysis #dataanalyst #leapyear #exceltips #meme #tiktok #archive

The rules around which years get a #LeapDay are more complicated than you might realize but they help keep the #calendar and the #season aligned. Although they can cause problems for people born on #February 29th

I should have waited until 2028 when #LeapYear might be trending but I'm impatient
