Galactic Tick Day

|
Galactic Tick Day, held every 1.7361 years (633.7 days), is a celebration of the progress of the solar system around the Milky Way Galaxy. The idea was conceived by David Sneider when he was thinking about the cultural mysticism placed on planets in retrograde and how a similar attention could be given to larger astronomical motion not associated with pseudoscience, specifically the Sun's orbit around the Galactic Center. The first Galactic Tick Day was one Galactic Tick (1.7361 years) after Hans Lippershey filed the patent for the first telescope on October 2, 1608. A ‘Galactic Tick’ is one-hundredth of an arc-second of a Galactic Year and is a unit of spacetime named just for this event in order to put a the length of a Galactic Year on a more human timescale. The 235th Galactic Tick Day (September 29, 2016) is the first time Galactic Tick Day has been recognized, and like New Years, it’s not tied to a specific terrestrial location and can be celebrated anywhere in the solar system.
