Astronomical events

All these dates are in a uniform time scale such as Terrestrial Time. When converted to our ordinary solar time or Universal Time, which is decidedly non-uniform, via ΔT, the dates would be a couple of days earlier. Furthermore, they are only astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered.

9106 November 5: Venus occults Regulus.
9168 November 21: Mean solar time and atomic time will be two days apart.
9361 August 4: Simultaneous annular solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.^[1]

Year 10,000 problem

Main article: Year 10,000 problem

Software that encodes the AD calendar year of a date as a four-character binary-coded decimal will no longer be able to encode the contemporaneous date.

Television

In the Futurama episode The Late Philip J. Fry, the Professor, Bender and Fry travel in the Professor's Time Machine in which they find a five-times over Post-Apocalyptic future in the year 10,000. There is a ruin of the human Statue of Liberty in line with four others, one of an ape, bird, cow and a slug-like creature.
In The Simpsons episode Replaceable You, Lisa Simpson says her science fair project proves that an asteroid will strike the earth on July 15, 9789. To this Bart replies: "Who cares? I'll be President of Hell by then".
In Aqua Teen Hunger Force the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future also refers to 9595 and is from this year.

Music

In the song "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans, it is predicted that humankind will have exhausted all planetary resources, and head to another star cluster by the year 9595.
