Zero Day

Zero Day is the name given to the convention that would create the Zero Day Accords, held between 19 February and 4 March 2296 by the old calendar. The two weeks were held to be precisely coincidental with a lunar and solar eclipse on those days respectively. While the lunar eclipse was visible for the vast majority of the European, African, and Asian continents, the solar eclipse was only visible from parts of Oceania, Antarctica, and South America. 
The event is celebrated in Terran Humanism with quasireligious fervor. Due to the entirety of North America being left out of the observation of either event, some hardline Terran Humanists have concluded that the event indicates a passage of judgement upon the continents inhabitants.
