A moment in time for our Sun.
Moments compiled into minutes compound into hours, days, and weeks. Months make seasons and seasons cylce into years. A decade doubles into a score and five of those will turn a century. Turn them ten times and a millenium goes by. Period.
Those periods are not so easily quantified, nor are the epochs, eras, eons, and supereons. Epochs are nestled in the periods based on signifigant occurances. The periods mark the millions of years comprised of epochs and ages. As those periods pass, depending on the geological occurances of the planet, eras are defined. Those eras exist in eons.
Eons make supereons. What’s important to consider is the fact that our earth has existed for eons. These eons are several hundreds of millions of years old. During those years, our planet revoves around the sun, which in turn revolves around the center of our galaxy. This takes about two hundred fifty million years, or one galactic year.
Our sun, the harbringer of light and life on this planet we call Earth, is celebrating 20 galactic years of existence. Here’s to many more . . .
