Re: getting a utc value from julian date

I was unable to use readmore tags

Why? This always works for me:

<readmore> <code> My long code here... </code> </readmore>

The site deals with julian times, which are ... unrecognizable as modern dates without a computation. ...
Alternatively, I'd be happy with creating a DateTime object from julian, but I don't see that as one of the options (one can go the other direction).

Have you looked at Date::Convert? From the Synopsis:

Date::Convert is intended to allow you to convert back and forth between any arbitrary date formats (ie. pick any from: Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, Absolute, and any others that get added on).

Hope that helps,

While Date::Convert knows the Julian Calendar, that's different from the Julian Date. Date::Convert's Absolute is similiar, but not similiar enough for astronomical purposes.	[reply]
