The tenth millennium is a period of time that will begin on January 1, 9001, and will end on December 31, 10000.

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.

Year 10,000 problem

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