Best wishes to all! Happy 2012!

Happy new year 2012 from France. That was the last day we had to pay taxes ... for 2011 I mean.
I hope you'll be in good health to see what mankind will achieve in 2012 and beyond. :sweet:

About four and a half hours.
Are we counting leap hours, for the solar year?

It's snowing like the dickens here in Minnesota. Fitting way to end the year.

It's warm and humid in Houston. Blah.

Happy New Year, as said RisingFury, we've all completed (more or less) another revolution around our Star. So many billion miles traveled !

 

[Scav]

Oh boy. I just read the winter storm warning for the county I'm in. 2-4" of snow, and gusts up to 45 mph.

Yup. A perfect way to end the year.

Of course, the starting point of the orbit is pretty arbitrary. If I was setting up the calendar now, I'd pick one of these dates to set January 1st to:
20. / 21. March (Equinox)
20. / 21. June ("Winter" solstice)
22. / 23. September (Equinox)
20. / 21. December ("Summer" solstice)
3. January (Earth at Perihelion)
4. June (Earth at Aphelion)

So, what is now known as March 21st would become January 1st...
I say "Winter" and "Summer" solstice, because we all know that the southern hemisphere experiences a different season as the northern one.

The least egoistical seem to be 3. January and 4. June, since they don't set a preference to either hemisphere.


Sorry to derail the thread, y'all.

Not all of us...

Happy new year 2012 to all of you with some delays. Had been celebrating at my parents house, peaceful and with good food.

Guess its time for Earth to get an oil change.:lol:

 

[Moach]

well, happy new year!


that was a mostly decent approximately-full orbit of our little ball of rock 'round the sun.... but i hope the next kludgefully stretched one will be even better - so best wishes to all and may the probe be with you on every reentry :thumbup:

Happy 2012 everybody/everypony!
