As long as we are discussing this to the bitter end what IS the JD for
01/01/2000? I have it at 2451545, is that right?
http://wwwmacho.mcmaster.ca/JAVA/JD.html
gives (for 12:00 hours)
2451545
You must be right.
1/1/0001 yields 1721412
The algorithm used is from
"Astronomical Formulae for Calculators" (2nd edition)
