;;; Commentary:

;; This collection of functions implements lunar phases for calendar.el and
;; diary.el.

;; Based on ``Astronomical Formulae for Calculators,'' 3rd ed., by Jean Meeus,
;; Willmann-Bell, Inc., 1985.
;;
;; WARNING: The calculations will be accurate only to within a few minutes.

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

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