Dates thereafter are UTC. Any 'b' symbol in the 1st-column denotes a B.C. date. First-column blank (" ") denotes an A.D. date. Calendar dates prior to 1582-Oct-15 are in the Julian calendar system. Later calendar dates are in the Gregorian system. The uniform Coordinate Time scale is used internally. Conversion between CT and the selected non-uniform UT output scale has not been determined for UTC times after the next July or January 1st. The last known leap-second is used over any future interval. NOTE: "n.a." in output means quantity "not available" at the print-time. SOLAR PRESENCE (OBSERVING SITE) Time tag is followed by a blank, then a solar-presence symbol: '*' Daylight (refracted solar upper-limb on or above apparent horizon) 'C' Civil twilight/dawn 'N' Nautical twilight/dawn 'A' Astronomical twilight/dawn ' ' Night OR geocentric ephemeris LUNAR PRESENCE (OBSERVING SITE) The solar-presence symbol is immediately followed by a lunar-presence symbol: 'm' Refracted upper-limb of Moon on or above apparent horizon ' ' Refracted upper-limb of Moon below apparent horizon OR geocentric ephemeris R.A._(a-apparent)__DEC. = Airless apparent right ascension and declination of the target center with respect to the Earth true-equator and the meridian containing the Earth true equinox of date. Corrected for light-time, gravitational deflection of light, stellar aberration, precession & nutation. Units: HMS (HH MM SS.ff) and DMS (DD MM SS.f) r rdot = Heliocentric range ("r", light-time corrected) and range-rate ("rdot") of the target center at the instant light seen by the observer at print-time would have left the target center (print-time minus down-leg light-time). The Sun-to-target distance traveled by a ray of light emanating from the center of the Sun that reaches the target center point at some instant and is recordable by the observer one down-leg light-time later at print-time.
