/**
 * <code>CalendarAstronomer</code> is a class that can perform the calculations to
 * determine the positions of the sun and moon, the time of sunrise and
 * sunset, and other astronomy-related data.  The calculations it performs
 * are in some cases quite complicated, and this utility class saves you
 * the trouble of worrying about them.
 * <p>
 * The measurement of time is a very important part of astronomy.  Because
 * astronomical bodies are constantly in motion, observations are only valid
 * at a given moment in time.  Accordingly, each <code>CalendarAstronomer</code>
 * object has a <code>time</code> property that determines the date
 * and time for which its calculations are performed.  You can set and
 * retrieve this property with {@link #setDate setDate}, {@link #getDate getDate}
 * and related methods.
 * <p>
 * Almost all of the calculations performed by this class, or by any
 * astronomer, are approximations to various degrees of accuracy.  The
 * calculations in this class are mostly modelled after those described
 * in the book
 * <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0521356997" target="_top">
 * Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator</a>, by Peter J.
 * Duffett-Smith, Cambridge University Press, 1990.  This is an excellent
 * book, and if you want a greater understanding of how these calculations
 * are performed it a very good, readable starting point.
 * <p>
 * <strong>WARNING:</strong> This class is very early in its development, and
 * it is highly likely that its API will change to some degree in the future.
 * At the moment, it basically does just enough to support {@link IslamicCalendar}
 * and {@link ChineseCalendar}.

//        // compute the Sun's position at any time.  First compute the "day

//        // 
//        double oblecl = 23.4393 - 3.563E-7 * d;
//        // 
//        double w  =  282.9404  +  4.70935E-5   * d;
//        double M  =  356.0470  +  0.9856002585 * d;
//        double e  =  0.016709  -  1.151E-9     * d;
//        // 
//        // This is the obliquity of the ecliptic, plus some of the elements of
//        // the Sun's apparent orbit (i.e., really the Earth's orbit): w =
//        // argument of perihelion, M = mean anomaly, e = eccentricity.
//        // Semi-major axis is here assumed to be exactly 1.0 (while not strictly
//        // true, this is still an accurate approximation).  Next compute E, the
//        // eccentric anomaly:
//        // 
//        double E = M + e*(180/PI) * Math.sin(M*DEG_RAD) * ( 1.0 + e*Math.cos(M*DEG_RAD) );
//        // 
//        // where E and M are in degrees.  This is it---no further iterations are
//        // needed because we know e has a sufficiently small value.  Next compute
//        // the true anomaly, v, and the distance, r:
//        // 
//        /*      r * cos(v)  =  */ double A  =  Math.cos(E*DEG_RAD) - e;
//        /*      r * sin(v)  =  */ double B  =  Math.sqrt(1 - e*e) * Math.sin(E*DEG_RAD);

//        double v  =  Math.atan2( B, A )*RAD_DEG;
//        // 
//        // The Sun's true longitude, slon, can now be computed:
//        // 
//        double slon  =  v + w;
//        // 
//        // Since the Sun is always at the ecliptic (or at least very very close to
//        // it), we can use simplified formulae to convert slon (the Sun's ecliptic
//        // longitude) to sRA and sDec (the Sun's RA and Dec):
//        // 
//        //                   sin(slon) * cos(oblecl)
//        //     tan(sRA)  =  -------------------------

//        // 
//        //     sin(sDec) =  sin(oblecl) * sin(slon)

//
//        // 	COMPUTING RISE AND SET TIMES
//        // 	----------------------------
//        // 
//        // To compute when an object rises or sets, you must compute when it
//        // passes the meridian and the HA of rise/set.  Then the rise time is
//        // the meridian time minus HA for rise/set, and the set time is the
//        // meridian time plus the HA for rise/set.
//        // 
//        // To find the meridian time, compute the Local Sidereal Time at 0h local
//        // time (or 0h UT if you prefer to work in UT) as outlined above---name
//        // that quantity LST0.  The Meridian Time, MT, will now be:
//        // 
//        //     MT  =  RA - LST0
//        double MT = normalize(sRA - LST, 360);
//        // 
//        // where "RA" is the object's Right Ascension (in degrees!).  If negative,
//        // add 360 deg to MT.  If the object is the Sun, leave the time as it is,
//        // but if it's stellar, multiply MT by 365.2422/366.2422, to convert from
//        // sidereal to solar time.  Now, compute HA for rise/set, name that
//        // quantity HA0:
//        // 
//        //                 sin(h0)  -  sin(lat) * sin(Dec)
//        // cos(HA0)  =  ---------------------------------
//        //                      cos(lat) * cos(Dec)
//        // 
//        // where h0 is the altitude selected to represent rise/set.  For a purely
//        // mathematical horizon, set h0 = 0 and simplify to:
//        // 
//        // 	cos(HA0)  =  - tan(lat) * tan(Dec)
//        // 
//        // If you want to account for refraction on the atmosphere, set h0 = -35/60
//        // degrees (-35 arc minutes), and if you want to compute the rise/set times
//        // for the Sun's upper limb, set h0 = -50/60 (-50 arc minutes).
//        // 
//        double h0 = -50/60 * DEG_RAD;
//
//        double HA0 = Math.acos(
//          (Math.sin(h0) - Math.sin(fLatitude) * sin_sDec) /
//          (Math.cos(fLatitude) * Math.cos(sDec*DEG_RAD)))*RAD_DEG;
//
//        // When HA0 has been computed, leave it as it is for the Sun but multiply
//        // by 365.2422/366.2422 for stellar objects, to convert from sidereal to
//        // solar time.  Finally compute:
//        // 
//        //    Rise time  =  MT - HA0
//        //    Set  time  =  MT + HA0
