The Unix epoch was conveniently set to midnight on January 1, 1970. Unix Time is represented by a 32 bit whole number (an integer) that counts seconds from this point going forward into the future, or backward into the past. Unix Time thus spans from 20:45:52 GMT on December 13th 1901 to 3:14:07 GMT on January 19 in 2038.
All computers that still use 32 bit Unix Time will overflow in 2038 -- the "Year 2038 problem." The fix is to store Unix Time in a 64 bit integer. This is already underway in most 64 bit Operating Systems, but many systems may not be updated by 2038.
From my understanding, needs conformation 1 1 1970 is absolutely the clock reset time for a certain manufacturer of chip. Memory overflow or some other chip malfunction will cause this. I also think you can reproduce this in certain situations on iPhones
It's Unix Epoch Time. Unix based systems keep time by storing the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch began, which is defined (arbitrarily) as Jan 1st 1970. This is why you will often see the glitched date Dec 31st 1969, which represents the number -1, usually a sign of missing datetime data.
There's a Y2K for Epoch time called the 2038 problem. This is the year when the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch began exceeds the maximum storage space many older systems allocate to time tracking. This being a 32-bit integer or 2^31 − 1 (2,147,483,647). The exact time this will happen is 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
The fix is to use a 64-bit integer to store time, in which case you should not have any issue for the next 300 billion years.
1970-01-01 I believe is timestamp value 0 on Linux systems.
So it looks to be like a simple bug in the app where the New Moon time was not initialized to a valid value and so showed the default corresponding to a value of 0.

Yeah in database world a lot of dates will reset to that specific date I never knew why just have seen it a ton.

You've lost me, OP. Why does the New Moon have a date of 1970-01-01?

👆This the DB had an issue and the default was 0, or something along the line. 0 happen often in the code world.
Your app is messed up. My app shows current data with the new moon today.
