1 Ephemeris Longitude is the terrestrial dynamical longitude assuming a
uniformly rotating Earth.
2 True Longitude is calculated by correcting the Ephemeris Longitude for
the non-uniform rotation of Earth.
(T.L. = E.L. + 1.002738*ΔT/240, where ΔT(in seconds) = TDT - UT)
Note: Longitude is measured positive to the East.
Since ΔT is not known in advance, the value used in the predictions is an
extrapolation based on pre-2006 measurements. Nevertheless, the actual
value is expected to fall within ±0.5seconds of the estimated ΔT used here.
