SEP
8, 1997 - Gregorian/Julian
Calendar Information is something I ran across while double-checking
a couple of historical celebrities whose birth data appear here at astropro.
A part of the Steinbrecher Astrological Data Collection site - featured
in an earlier WOW award (JUN
23, 1997) - this is one of those online reference pages that you won't
need often. But when you do need it, you'll thank Ed Steinbrecher and your
lucky stars that it's there on the Net for you. In brief, it provides the
information you'll need to convert between dates in the modern Gregorian
calendar and the old Julian calendar. (The Gregorian calendar is also called
the New Style calendar and abbreviated NS; likewise the Julian is also
called the Old Style calendar and abbreviated OS.) Just so you'll know,
all celebrity birthdates here at astropro are expressed as Gregorian (NS)
with the exception of dates prior to October 5, 1582 - which are given
as Julian (OS).
SEP 28 UPDATE The Steinbrecher Gregorian/Julian
Calendar Information site has been moved from its original location on
the Net, and the link provided with this review has been adjusted accordingly.
