30 ;; This collection of functions implements lunar phases for calendar.el and
33 ;; Based on ``Astronomical Formulae for Calculators,'' 3rd ed., by Jean Meeus,
34 ;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1985 and ``Astronomical Algorithms'' by Jean Meeus,
35 ;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1991.
37 ;; WARNING: The calculations will be accurate only to within a few minutes.
39 ;; The author would be delighted to have an astronomically more sophisticated
40 ;; person rewrite the code for the lunar calculations in this file!
42 ;; Technical details of all the calendrical calculations can be found in
