Research direction
Reproduce a cosmological timeline using dates from the 19th and 20th centuries and compare the displayed labels with the issue screenshot. Trace the date-formatting entry point used for these recent dates; done means a date such as 1856 is displayed as “1856” rather than “1.9 thousand years ago.”
