NOTES: [1] Occasionally a time-out may occur if the JPL Horizons server is temporarily unavailable or too busy and an error occurs. If such a crash or hang-up does occur, simply refresh and try again. There are times when it gets a bit glitchy and it can be tricky to determine if it's the program or the JPL server where the problem lies. Patience is key. [2] This lunar perigee and apogee ephemeris calculator spans some 8999 years from 1000 AD to 9998 AD. The program is written in PHP v7.4.9 and makes internal calls to the NASA/JPL Horizons API v1.1 [3] Julian Dates, Day Numbers and Calendar Dates: Julian Dates (JD) and Calendar Dates: JD < 2299160.5 = Refers to Old-Style Julian Calendar Dates JD >= 2299160.5 = Refers to Modern Gregorian Calendar Dates Dates up to 1582-Oct-04-Thu refer to the Julian calendar. Dates from 1582-Oct-15-Fri refer to the Gregorian calendar. The date following 1582-Oct-04-Thu was 1582-Oct-15-Fri, the official first date on our modern Gregorian calendar system. Technically speaking, there are no calendar dates in the range from 1582-Oct-05-Fri to 1582-Oct-14-Sun because those 10 dates were dropped from the calendar during the Julian to Gregorian calendar transition to bring dates of the seasons back into alignment with the sun and the rule for leap year was changed to prevent the previous calendar error from recurring. Given JD = General Julian Date, then the Julian Day Number corresponding to that date on the calendar is: JDNum = floor(JD + 0.5) The Julian Day Number is always a positive integer value serving as a unique serial number for every date on the calendar and holds the calendar date and the day of the week information. The Julian Date holds the calendar date and the day of the week with the fractional part holding the time of day information. For the day of the week (DoW) index corresponding to any Julian Date (JD), or Julian Day Number (JDNum), let the day of the week be indicated by a numerical index DoW in the range from 0=Sun to 6=Sat. DoW = (floor(JD + 0.5) + 1) mod 7 or DoW = (JDNum + 1) mod 7 Where DoW: 0=Sun, 1=Mon, 2=Tue, 3=Wed, 4=Thu, 5=Fri and 6=Sat The JDNum and DoW formulas apply to both the old Julian and the modern Gregorian calendar systems. [4] If a perigee or apogee event occurs near the beginning of a month, that month may have two perigees or two apogees, but never two of both. This is because the lunar orbital months, about 27.32 days, are shorter than the calendar months which range from 28 to 31 days. In some rare cases it is possible for February to have only one single event during the month such as only one perigee or one apogee and not both. [5] UT1 = Old Universal Time Scale (Solar Based). Old previous UT time scale used for years up to 1961. UTC = Coordinated Universal Time Scale (Atomic Based). Newer UT scale used from 1962 to date. World times are now based on this standard with leap seconds applied to maintain civil time, based on atomic time, in close sync with the mean sun. LT = Local Time for the given time zone based on the given +/− HH:MM offset. Time Zone Offset Convention: West of Greenwich, time zone offsets are negative. East of Greenwich, time zone offsets are positive. [6] Standard times are assumed. To adjust for Daylight Saving or Summer Time, add 1 hour to the standard times taking care to watch for any change of date -OR- subtract 1 hour from the time zone offset, which will automatically handle any date change. For example, the time zone offset for Eastern Standard Time (EST) is normally -5 hours. However, when Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) is in effect, use a time zone offset of -4 hours instead. The computed times will be in EDT and automatically handle any date changes. [7] There is an optional location label that can be applied to the computed table for reference. However, any label should match the indicated time zone so as to be accurate and make sense. The label can consist of any printable plain-text string and defaults to 'Greenwich' at Time Zone Offset UTC+00:00. [8] This program implements a cookie to store and recall the year and other interface settings between calls. It does not track, monitor or perform any other activity. If you navigate away and come back later, the interface settings stored in the cookie will be recalled from your last visit. Each call refreshes the cookie for up to 7 days recall. *************************************************************** *************************************************************** API VERSION: 1.1 API SOURCE: NASA/JPL Horizons API *************************************************************** Revised: July 31, 2013 Moon / (Earth) 301 GEOPHYSICAL DATA (updated 2018-Aug-15): ***************************************************************
