1Ephemeris Longitude is the terrestrial dynamical longitude assuming a
                     uniformly rotating Earth.
2True Longitude is calculated by correcting the Ephemeris Longitude for
                the non-uniform rotation of Earth.
   (T.L. = E.L. + 1.002738*deltaT/240, where deltaT(in seconds) = TDT - UT)

Note: Longitude is measured positive to the East.

Since deltaT is not known in advance, the value used in the predictions is an
extrapolation based on pre-2002 measurements.  Nevertheless, the actual
value is expected to fall within +-0.5 seconds of the estimated deltaT used here.
