;;; Commentary:

;; See calendar.el.  This file implements features that deal with
;; times of day, sunrise/sunset, and equinoxes/solstices.

;; Based on the ``Almanac for Computers 1984,'' prepared by the Nautical
;; Almanac Office, United States Naval Observatory, Washington, 1984, on
;; ``Astronomical Formulae for Calculators,'' 3rd ed., by Jean Meeus,
;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1985, on ``Astronomical Algorithms'' by Jean Meeus,
;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1991, and on ``Planetary Programs and Tables from
;; -4000 to +2800'' by Pierre Bretagnon and Jean-Louis Simon, Willmann-Bell,
;; Inc., 1986.

;;
;; Accuracy:
;;    1. Sunrise/sunset times will be accurate to the minute for years
;;       1951--2050.  For other years the times will be within +/- 2 minutes.
;;
;;    2. Equinox/solstice times will be accurate to the minute for years
;;       1951--2050.  For other years the times will be within +/- 1 minute.

For example, the form

HEIGHT is the angle the center of the sun has over the horizon for the contact
we are trying to find.  For sunrise and sunset, it is usually -0.61 degrees,
accounting for the edge of the sun being on the horizon.
