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