Next message: Noyce, Bill: "Resolving azimuth ambiguity - sometimes relatively simple"
This is not strictly celnav but I'm hoping someone on the list has run
across the answer, as matters of calendars and dates are so crucial to
celnav.
Our "western" (Gregorian?) calendar has a nominal 365 days. It could be
broken up into five months of 31 days, and seven months of 30 days, with the
leap day added to any one of those. Instead, we have FOUR months of 30 days,
six months of 31 days, and the dear oddball February shortchanged at 28.
What's with the odd 28-day month? Who or how did the length of the months in
our current calendar happen?
