Method Detail
-
getSunPositionOnEarth
public static Coordinate getSunPositionOnEarth(long pMillis)
Given a particular time (expressed in milliseconds since the unix epoch), compute position on the earth (lat, lon) such that sun is directly overhead.
Verified.
- Parameters:
pMillis
- seconds since unix epoch
-
getMoonPositionOnEarth
public static Coordinate getMoonPositionOnEarth(long pMillis)
Given a particular time (expressed in milliseconds since the unix epoch), compute position on the earth (lat, lon) such that the moon is directly overhead. Based on duffett-smith **2nd ed** section 61; combines some steps into single expressions to reduce the number of extra variables.
Verified.
