Dave: If you need and GPS(GNSS)-related input, just let me know. -- Richard
Quoting "Finkleman, Dave" <dfinkle...@agi.com>:
I have been invited to write an article on this subject for the quarterly journal of Sigma Xi, American Scientist. Someone read our AAS paper and thought the subject would be appropriate for the diverse technical community. The style is that the report be understandable to those with a solid technical background, neither experts nor laymen. I welcome suggestions, and I will share authorship with all willing to work on it. BTW: The Islamic month begins with heliacal rising of the crescent Moon. However, contrary to my warped recollection, the Islamic day cycle is governed by the Sun. However, there is still a difference between the start of the Moslem day (sunset or Maghrib - which means "west") and the start of the Hebrew day (verifiable star sightings).
