England Gregorian
England didn't embrace the Gregorian Calendar until the 17th century, over 100 years after it was invented by the Catholic church.
This means throughout the Tudor Dynasty and before, they used the Julian calendar. New year was observed on the 25th of March and the dates were inaccurate by today's standards.

Privatisation of Space
NASA has been privatising space travel, they have been reaching out to private companies to make spaceships for them.
They have so far given out two contracts, one to SpaceX and one to Boeing. The two companies make space vehicles that bring astronauts to the international space station.
They believe that private companies would deliver space vehicles more efficiently and with a smaller budget.
Recently the Boeing Star liner space capsule has had some serious faults and has been forced to return to earth without the astronauts.

AM And PM
When you're reading the time AM stands for Anti Meridian, this means before Meridian because the sun hasn't reached the meridian line in the sky from your perspective.
PM stands for post meridian because the sun has apparently gone past the meridian line.
