Re: Martian Calender - I have created a martian calender...
This topic is about a new calendar for Mars. That said, the time of day on Earth is shown, so the post by Mars_B4_Moon is relevant.

Our first "Bracket Day" is due on Sol 27. You can see the Bracket Day approaching by noting the shrinking part of the prior Earth Day.

There is a bug in the Python program that generates this cell.
It should be showing Month 2.

Re: Martian Calender - I have created a martian calender...
We have entered Month 2 of Year 39.
Month 1 is now in the record books.
The next event is to see if Month 1 can be assembled into a Calendar Page suitable for printing.
