The tenth millennium in the anno Domini or Common Era of the Gregorian calendar will begin on January 1, 9001, and end on December 31, 10,000.
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]
- 9622 February 4: Simultaneous annular solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.[1]
- 9682 November 16: Mercury occults Regulus.
- 9847 November 21: Mars occults Regulus.
- c. 9800: Earth's roughly 26,000 year route of axial precession returns to Deneb as the North star.[2]
- 9966 August 11: Simultaneous total solar eclipse and transit of Mercury.[1]
Year 10,000 problem
Software that encodes the CE / AD calendar year of a date as a four-character binary-coded decimal will no longer be able to encode the contemporaneous date. This problem may possibly occur from midnight on January 1, 10000.
Television
- In the Futurama episode "The Late Philip J. Fry", the Professor, Bender and Fry travel in the Professor's Time Machine, finding a post-apocalyptic future in the year 10,000.
- 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 frequently refers to 9595, being 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 by the year 9595.
