 *
 * Introduction 
 *
 * The SGEphemeris class computes and stores the positions of the Sun,
 * the Moon, the planets, and the brightest stars.  These positions
 * can then be used to accurately render the dominant visible items in
 * the Earth's sky. Note, this class isn't intended for use in an
 * interplanetary/interstellar/intergalactic type application. It is
 * calculates everything relative to the Earth and is therefore best
 * suited for Earth centric applications.
 *
 * The positions of the various astronomical objects are time
 * dependent, so to maintain accuracy, you will need to periodically
 * call the update() method. The SGTime class conveniently provides
 * the two time related values you need to pass to the update()
 * method.
