[edit] Astronomical events

These are astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered.

• 6212 November 7: Mercury occults Regulus
• 6587 September 9: Venus occults Regulus
• 6727 August 25: Mars occults Regulus the first time since June 28, 17,619 BC
• 6757 July 5: There is anticipated to be a simultaneous solar eclipse and transit of Mercury, the first such simultaneous eclipse and planetary transit in recorded history.
• 6947 October 9: Mercury occults Regulus

[edit] Music

• The Italian symphonic metal rock band Vision Divine sings about the year 6048 and the plight of the Earth in the song "Here in 6048".

[edit] Science fiction

• The events of the video game series Xenosaga take place sometime in the early 6000s. Due to the vagueness of the times given in Episode 1 of the series ('20xx' followed by '4000 years in the future'), it is possible the events cross over into the 62nd century (though, contrary to the game itself, the dates given in Xenogears Perfect Works would place Xenosaga's events in 7277 on the AD calendar). It should be noted that Perfect Works does not apply to the Xenosaga line, as many of the writers of the Xenogears series are no longer involved in the Xenosaga project.
• In Doctor Who, the Doctor's daughter Jenny was born on July 24, 6012 in the 61st Century on the planet Messaline.

[edit] Other

• The year 6009 will be the first year since 1961 in which its rendering using the Hindu-Arabic numeral system will create a numeral which can be inverted, rendering the same numeral; this works in many sans-serif fonts, much handwriting, and in the standard Seven-segment display of electronic devices.

• In the year 6939, the Westinghouse Time Capsules from the years 1939 and 1964 will be opened after 5000 years.

• The Age of Capricorn will supposedly end its 2000 year reign.
