10th millennium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| Millennium: | 9th millennium - 10th millennium - 11th millennium and beyond |
The tenth millennium is a period of time which will begin on January 1, 9001 and will end on December 31, 10,000.
[edit] Astronomical events
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 a couple of days earlier. Because of this difference, these dates have no anniversary relation to historical dates and should not be linked to them. Furthermore, they are only astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered.
