Description

@AdamRJensen

It would be nice to add a subsection on the different time scales:

  • Universal Time Coordinated (UTC)
  • Universal Time (UT)
  • Terrestrial Time (TT)
  • DeltaT

Some relevant literature:

  • DeltaT polynomials: https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEcat5/deltatpoly.html
  • Morrison, L. and Stephenson, F. R., "Historical Values of the Earth's Clock Error ΔT and the Calculation of Eclipses", J. Hist. Astron., Vol. 35 Part 3, August 2004, No. 120, pp 327-336 (2004).
