They have found that in every millennium the last sidereal day is approximately one-thousandth of a second longer than the first.
We divide this unit of time - the so-called sidereal day - into 24 hours, the hour into 60 minutes, the minute into 60 seconds.
Should we really consider two corresponding sections of the same scale as exactly equal to one another: two sidereal days, for example, as exactly equal intervals of time?
It also fixed the number of days in each month, which previously varied by year with the sidereal zodiac.
This approach has no effect upon those astrologers that utilize twelve equal sized ages based on the sidereal zodiac.
This is because the sidereal zodiac is superimposed upon the irregular zodiacal constellation, and there are no unambiguous boundaries of the zodiacal constellations.
Moon is said to have 27 (not 28) wives with whom he stays for one day in a sidereal lunar month.
