Today (14 January 2009) would be the first of January according to the Julian calendar. This calendar was used across much of Europe from the time of Julius Caesar until the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582. Ultimately, this older calendar was dropped from use except for some Eastern Orthodox religious observances. The Julian calendar inserts one day once every four years overestimates the time for the earth to orbit the sun by 11 minutes 14 seconds. Consequently, a difference in approximately 14 days has accrued since the time of Julius Caesar. (Courtesy, J. Lattis, Space Place, University of Wisconsin-Madison)
