Details of the countdown

After some math and testing with Flash, I calculated that the oculus has an alignment period of:

• 1 day, 20 hours, and 48 minutes exactly

Which means, given it aligned at 11am, Sept 28, 2006, the next 'on the hour' alignment will be 5 periods from 11am, or every 9 days and 8 hours... which means further alignments will occur on the hour on:

• Sat, Oct 7, 7pm (12am, Oct 8, GMT)
• Mon, Oct 17, 3am (8am, GMT)
• Wed, Oct 26, 11am (4pm, GMT), etc

So, here's the summary... The oculus will align:

• Every 1 day, 20 hours, 48 minutes
• Every 9 days, 8 hours - on the hour
• only on the hours 7pm, 3am, and 11am (Eastern)
• only on the hours 12am, 8am, and 4pm (GMT)
• Every 28 days (4 weeks precisely) on the same hour
