All these dates are in a uniform time scale such as Terrestrial Time. When converted to our ordinary solar time or Universal Time, which is decidedly non-uniform, via ΔT, the dates would be about one day earlier.
- 7016 October 3: Mean solar time and atomic time will be one day apart.
- 7152 September 11: Mars occults Regulus.
- 7200: The Gregorian calendar is one day out of step with the vernal equinox.[1]
