Julius Caesar and Leap Days

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Today, February 29th, is a leap day, a relatively rare occurrence. Julius Caesar introduced leap days in 46 BC, advised by astronomer Sosigenes. This system adds a day every four years to account for Earth's orbit being slightly longer than 365 days, keeping our calendar aligned with the seasons.
