Notes

---

      Notes: Julian seconds (not an official unit) serve the
        same purpose as Julian Days, interval computations.
        The zero point is 0:00 1 Jan 2000, so js < 0 before then.
        Julian Seconds are double precision and have a precision
        better than 1 millisecond over a span of +/- 1000 years.
