    Astronomically, January 1st is a meaningless date. It is an arbitrary reference point in a system based on the approximate orbital period of an otherwise unremarkable star that is perhaps only notable for having a life-bearing planet.

    But for those of us who reckon time by this system, today is the 98th anniversary of humanity taking a monumental step towards understanding our place in a Universe that is vast and puzzling, but ultimately knowable.

    Happy New Year!
