What Is Stardate and How Star Trek Invented Its Own Fictional Time System
A stardate is the fictional timekeeping system Star Trek's Starfleet uses instead of the Gregorian calendar, heard from the show's very first broadcast episode in September 1966, "Captain's log, star date 1513.1," and reworked at least three separate times since, in ways the franchise's own
Why We Say “Quarter Past” and “Half Past” Instead of Just Saying the Minutes
By the year 1500, the clock at Wells Cathedral in England was already striking the quarter-hours for the whole town to hear. What it could not do was show a minute. There was no minute hand on any clock anywhere, because no clock mechanism was
Why Clocks Run Clockwise: The Sundial Origin of “Clockwise”
Nothing about the universe requires a clock's hands to sweep the way they do. There's no physical law dictating that "forward" in time should move to the right at the top of a dial. The direction is a historical accident, frozen into every watch, wall

What Is a Supermoon and When Is the Next One
Every time a supermoon rises, the same statistic gets repeated: 14% bigger, 30% brighter. It's in almost every news segment and nearly every listicle, and it's also a comparison almost nobody in the audience will ever actually witness, because it measures the single closest possible
Why the Sky Is Blue During the Day and Black at Night
Sunlight is white. Air is, as far as anyone can tell by looking through a window, colorless. And yet every clear afternoon the same 400,000-kilometer column of gas above your head reads as a specific, saturated blue, then goes black within an hour of sunset.
