;;; Commentary:

;; This collection of functions implements the features of calendar.el and
;; diary.el that deal with sunrise/sunset and eqinoxes/solstices.

;; Based on the ``Almanac for Computers 1984,'' prepared by the Nautical
;; Almanac Office, United States Naval Observatory, Washington, 1984 and
;; on ``Astronomical Formulae for Calculators,'' 3rd ed., by Jean Meeus,
;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1985.
;;
;; WARNINGS:
;;    1. SUNRISE/SUNSET calculations will be accurate only to +/- 2 minutes.
;;       Locations should be between +/- 65 degrees of latitude.
;;       Dates should be in the latter half of the 20th century.
;;
;;    2. Equinox/solstice times will be accurate only to +/- 15 minutes.

;; The author would be delighted to have an astronomically more sophisticated
;; person rewrite the code for the solar calculations in this file!

;; Comments, corrections, and improvements should be sent to
