/*
The formulas/algorithms in this module are based on the book
"Astronomical algorithms" by Jean Meeus (2nd edition)
 
The target accuracy of this implementation is ~1min for sunrise/sunset calculations,
and 6 arcminutes for elevation/azimuth. As such, some of the advanced correction factors
like exact nutation are not included. But in some testing the accuracy appears to be within range
for random spots around the globe.
