==Converting to and from the Gregorian calendar and solar time== {{Main|D'ni time conversion}} The conversions in the classroom brochure and the dates corresponding to the vaileetee are approximations, since the D'ni year does differ slightly from the length of an Earth year in the Gregorian calendar. For example, the actual date of Leefo 1, the D'ni New Year, will vary slightly from year to year, sometimes falling on April 20 and sometimes on April 21. During the course of [[Mysterium]] 2006, [[RAWA]] revealed that the length of the D'ni year is equivalent to the precise number of seconds in the Mean Solar Tropical Year in 1995. In October 2007, he revealed in correspondence to explorer RIUM+ that the exact value is 31556925.216 seconds, or 365.24219 days. RAWA also disclosed the day and time at which the D'ni and Gregorian calendars converged exactly: April 21, 1991 at 9:54 AM Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-0700), which is the date/time stamp on the original HyperCard Stack file for [[Myst (game)|Myst]]. ===Utilities=== The following tools can be used to automatically convert dates and times between the D'ni and Gregorian calendars: * [https://archive.guildofarchivists.org/dateconverter Date converter web application]
