/**
* CalendarAstronomer 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.
*
* 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 CalendarAstronomer
* object has a time 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.
*
* 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
*
* Practical Astronomy With Your Calculator, 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.
*
* WARNING: 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 com.ibm.icu.util.IslamicCalendar}
* and {@link com.ibm.icu.util.ChineseCalendar}.

//
// // COMPUTING THE SUN'S POSITION
// // ----------------------------
// //
// // To be able to compute the Sun's rise/set times, you need to be able to
// // compute the Sun's position at any time. First compute the "day
// // number" d as outlined above, for the desired moment. Next compute:
// //
// 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);
// //
// // and
// //
// // r = sqrt( A*A + B*B )
// 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) = -------------------------
// // cos(slon)
// //
// // sin(sDec) = sin(oblecl) * sin(slon)
// //
// // As was the case when computing az, the Azimuth, if possible use an
// // atan2() function to compute sRA.
//
// double sRA = Math.atan2(Math.sin(slon*DEG_RAD) * Math.cos(oblecl*DEG_RAD), Math.cos(slon*DEG_RAD))*RAD_DEG;
//
// double sin_sDec = Math.sin(oblecl*DEG_RAD) * Math.sin(slon*DEG_RAD);
// double sDec = Math.asin(sin_sDec)*RAD_DEG;
//
// // 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
// //
// // convert the times from degrees to hours by dividing by 15.
// //
// // If you'd like to check that your calculations are accurate or just
// // need a quick result, check the USNO's Sun or Moon Rise/Set Table,
// // .
//
// double result = MT + (rise ? -HA0 : HA0); // in degrees
