**is there a way to know the date of a transaction by looking at the raw blockchain?**

I know that Etherscan and other blockchain explorers have dates for the transactions...but I couldn't find a way to do it via web3

[web3.eth.getTransaction][1], and other transaction related [APIs][2]
don't seem to be exposing any Date objects.

thanks
