===================================================== SOME GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION This program handles ancient dates prior to BC 4713 which produces negative Julian dates and Julian day numbers. Both the Julian and Gregorian calendars are applied with the Julian calendar being used for all dates up to AD 1582-Oct-04-Thu. The modern Gregorian calendar calendar is used for all dates after that up to the current date and all future dates. -------------------------------------------------- THE DIFFERENCE JULIAN DATES AND JULIAN DAY NUMBERS The JULIAN DATE contains both calendar date and the time of day information. Any fractional part of the Julian Date indicates the time of day. The JULIAN DAY NUMBER is always an integer value and only contains the calendar date information. It does NOT tell us the time of day. It is simply the exact count of calendar days since the mathematical origin of the calendar system or a unique serial number for every given date on the calendar system. The difference between two Julian Day numbers equates to the exact number of calendar days between the two corresponding dates, taking into account all leap years between the dates. The default startup date is the current date (UTC). Any interface date values left blank will be filled by the current default values from the system clock. A cookie is used to store the date arguments between calls. ===================================================== Program built around the NASA/JPL Horizons API v1.2
