		Notes to the Astronomical Sky Calendar ^Votes:0 NIGHTTIME ASTRONOMICAL CALENDAR By John Thorstensen, Dartmouth College with a Web interface by Brian Casey .

For the most part, this is true. However, while calendar reckoning in Japan closely followed developments in China, lapses in acquisition of improved methods often led to a difference of at least a day or two between the two system Read More Go to Site
