29 ;;; Commentary:
31 ;; This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el,
32 ;; diary.el, and holiday.el that deal with times of day, sunrise/sunset, and
33 ;; equinoxes/solstices.
35 ;; Based on the ``Almanac for Computers 1984,'' prepared by the Nautical
36 ;; Almanac Office, United States Naval Observatory, Washington, 1984, on
37 ;; ``Astronomical Formulae for Calculators,'' 3rd ed., by Jean Meeus,
38 ;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1985, on ``Astronomical Algorithms'' by Jean Meeus,
39 ;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1991, and on ``Planetary Programs and Tables from
40 ;; -4000 to +2800'' by Pierre Bretagnon and Jean-Louis Simon, Willmann-Bell,
41 ;; Inc., 1986.
44 ;; Accuracy:
45 ;; 1. Sunrise/sunset times will be accurate to the minute for years
46 ;; 1951--2050. For other years the times will be within +/- 2 minutes.
48 ;; 2. Equinox/solstice times will be accurate to the minute for years
49 ;; 1951--2050. For other years the times will be within +/- 1 minute.
51 ;; Technical details of all the calendrical calculations can be found in
52 ;; ``Calendrical Calculations: The Millennium Edition'' by Edward M. Reingold
53 ;; and Nachum Dershowitz, Cambridge University Press (2001).
