SUNMOON for REX v0.9


SunMoon tries to pack the most relevant Sun & Moon events for the current time and date (in the user's geographical location).
It marks the rise and set times for sun (mathematical, civil, nautical, astronomical amateur, astronomical professional) and moon (just the mathematical ones).

It plots the position of sun and moon in their daily cycles. And for the sun it is compared with its maximum and minimum variations (summer and winter solstices).

Finally, both are also situated in their global cycles. For the sun it marks us the current zodiacal constellation (and in consequence the season). For the moon its current phase, both graphically and numerically.

v0.9
====
+ Solved bug in display when a new sign starts.
+ Solved bug in moon phase computation (it showed in rare cases -in some early hours of the day-).
+ Enhaced accuracy of sunrise and sunset times.
+ Better indication when no moon data is found.
+ The moon is now plotted even in its lowest position in the daily cycle.
+ Some minor aesthetics improvements.

v0.8
====
Initial Public Release


Known bugs & limitations:
+ In South Hemisphere the seasons's names are the northern ones. :-(
+ Very northern or southern locations (i.e. Midnight sun) not handled at all !
+ Numerical Moon phase can have little unaccuracies (up to 2 or 3 "centlunations" of unaccuracy) due to the linear and simplified implementation of its evolution.
