DailyEvents separates calculated astronomical data, official observances, public-holiday data and historical reference feeds so each type of information can be understood in context.

Astronomy

Astronomy Engine

Used for planetary positions, ecliptic longitude, constellations, retrograde or direct motion, eclipses, equinoxes, solstices, elongations, oppositions and related astronomical calculations.

Project reference
Moon

Lunar calculations

Moon phase, lunar age and approximate illumination are calculated locally using the lunar synodic cycle.

Holidays

date-holidays

Used for country and public-holiday calculations. Holiday data should be treated as a convenient reference and verified against the relevant government authority where official confirmation is required.

Project reference
Observances

United Nations observances

Official international observances are maintained from the United Nations International Days and Weeks list. Informal or commercial awareness days are not mixed into the official category.

United Nations reference
History

Wikimedia On This Day

Historical events, selected anniversaries, notable births and deaths are retrieved from Wikimedia's On This Day feed and linked back to relevant Wikipedia pages.

Meteor showers

Recurring peak dates

Meteor-shower peaks currently use approximate recurring annual dates and are labelled separately from calculated Astronomy Engine events.

DailyEvents is a reference and educational website. Source status and calculation method should remain visible wherever precision or official status matters.
