Notable predictions and known events[edit]
208th decade
2070[edit]
- February – The Teen Age Message, an Active SETI message sent in 2001 from the 70-meter Eupatoria Planetary Radar, arrives at its destination, the star HD 197076.[1]
- Islam is expected to have surpassed Christianity as the world's largest religion by this time.[2]
2073[edit]
- In the United States, a new law will allow works to enter the public domain each year once the work's creator has died 70 years prior, superseding the current law, which allows works to enter the public domain on January 1 of the 96th year after they are released.
2074[edit]
2075[edit]
- The ozone layer is expected to have fully recovered.[3]
2076[edit]
- c. May 31 - The planetoid 90377 Sedna is expected to reach its perihelion, its closest point to the Sun. It is expected to reach a distance of 76 AU, or 76 times the average distance Earth is from the Sun. Sedna has a highly elliptical orbit, thus it is difficult to locate; at its aphelion, it reaches a distance of about 942 AU. This date is subject to adjustment as Sedna's orbit is still being refined.
2079[edit]
- June 6 - The smalldatetime fields in SQL-Server databases will wrap around to January 1, 1900.
- August 11 - Mercury occults Mars, the first since at least 1708.[4]
