What are Octennial and Minute sidereal

An 'Octennial' refers to a period of eight years. Often used in the context of periods of time that are significant in governance, planning, or life events, the term 'octennial' is derived from the Latin root for the number eight, indicating the completion of eight full years.

A 'Minute sidereal' is a unit of time measurement that is based on the Earth's rate of rotation measured relative to the fixed stars. One sidereal minute is equivalent to 1/60th of a sidereal hour and is slightly shorter than a standard minute, reflecting the true rotation period of Earth.
