* @brief A date and time used for astronomical calculations.
*
* This type is of fundamental importance to Astronomy Engine.
* It is used to represent dates and times for all astronomical calculations.
* It is also included in the values returned by many Astronomy Engine functions.
*
* To create a valid astro_time_t value from scratch, call #Astronomy_MakeTime
* (for a given calendar date and time) or #Astronomy_CurrentTime (for the system's
* current date and time).
*
* To adjust an existing astro_time_t by a certain real number of days,
* call #Astronomy_AddDays.
*
* The astro_time_t type contains `ut` to represent Universal Time (UT1/UTC) and
* `tt` to represent Terrestrial Time (TT, also known as *ephemeris time*).
* The difference `tt-ut` is known as *&Delta;T*, and is obtained from
* a model provided by the
* [United States Naval Observatory](http://maia.usno.navy.mil/ser7/).
*
* Both `tt` and `ut` are necessary for performing different astronomical calculations.
* Indeed, certain calculations (such as rise/set times) require both time scales.
* See the documentation for the `ut` and `tt` fields for more detailed information.
*
* In cases where astro_time_t is included in a structure returned by
* a function that can fail, the astro_status_t field `status` will contain a value
* other than `ASTRO_SUCCESS`; in that case the `ut` and `tt` will hold `NAN` (not a number).
* In general, when there is an error code stored in a struct field `status`, the
* caller should ignore all other values in that structure, including the `ut` and `tt`
* inside astro_time_t.

/**
* @brief UT1/UTC number of days since noon on January 1, 2000.
*
* The floating point number of days of Universal Time since noon UTC January 1, 2000.
* Astronomy Engine approximates UTC and UT1 as being the same thing, although they are
* not exactly equivalent; UTC and UT1 can disagree by up to &plusmn;0.9 seconds.
* This approximation is sufficient for the accuracy requirements of Astronomy Engine.
*
* Universal Time Coordinate (UTC) is the international standard for legal and civil
* timekeeping and replaces the older Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) standard.
* UTC is kept in sync with unpredictable observed changes in the Earth's rotation
* by occasionally adding leap seconds as needed.
*
* UT1 is an idealized time scale based on observed rotation of the Earth, which
* gradually slows down in an unpredictable way over time, due to tidal drag by the Moon and Sun,
* large scale weather events like hurricanes, and internal seismic and convection effects.
* Conceptually, UT1 drifts from atomic time continuously and erratically, whereas UTC
* is adjusted by a scheduled whole number of leap seconds as needed.
*
* The value in `ut` is appropriate for any calculation involving the Earth's rotation,
* such as calculating rise/set times, culumination, and anything involving apparent
* sidereal time.
*
* Before the era of atomic timekeeping, days based on the Earth's rotation
* were often known as *mean solar days*.

* the number of elapsed [SI seconds](https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/second.html)
* divided by 86400. Unlike `ut`, `tt` increases uniformly without adjustments
* for changes in the Earth's rotation.
*
* The value in `tt` is used for calculations of movements not involving the Earth's rotation,
* such as the orbits of planets around the Sun, or the Moon around the Earth.
*
* Historically, Terrestrial Time has also been known by the term *Ephemeris Time* (ET).

* A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon does not line up directly enough with the Sun
* to completely block the Sun's light from reaching the observer.
* An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon's disc is completely visible against the Sun
* but the Moon is too far away to completely block the Sun's light; this leaves the
* Sun with a ring-like appearance.
* A total eclipse occurs when the Moon is close enough to the Earth and aligned with the
* Sun just right to completely block all sunlight from reaching the observer.
*
* There are 5 "event" fields, each of which contains a time and a solar altitude.
* Field `peak` holds the date and time of the center of the eclipse, when it is at its peak.
* The fields `partial_begin` and `partial_end` are always set, and indicate when
* the eclipse begins/ends. If the eclipse reaches totality or becomes annular,
* `total_begin` and `total_end` indicate when the total/annular phase begins/ends.
* When an event field is valid, the caller must also check its `altitude` field to
* see whether the Sun is above the horizon at that time. See #astro_eclipse_kind_t
* for more information.

* @brief Aberration calculation options.
*
* [Aberration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_of_light) is an effect
* causing the apparent direction of an observed body to be shifted due to transverse
* movement of the Earth with respect to the rays of light coming from that body.
* This angular correction can be anywhere from 0 to about 20 arcseconds,
* depending on the position of the observed body relative to the instantaneous
* velocity vector of the Earth.
*
* Some Astronomy Engine functions allow optional correction for aberration by
* passing in a value of this enumerated type.
*
* Aberration correction is useful to improve accuracy of coordinates of
* apparent locations of bodies seen from the Earth.
* However, because aberration affects not only the observed body (such as a planet)
* but the surrounding stars, aberration may be unhelpful (for example)
* for determining exactly when a planet crosses from one constellation to another.

* across different calendar dates. In these cases, a fixed *epoch*, or reference time,

* to the plane of the Earth's orbit as it was on noon UTC on 1 January 2000.

* For some other purposes, it is more helpful to represent coordinates using the Earth's
* equator exactly as it is on that date. For example, when calculating rise/set times

* equator at that same date and time. For these uses, Astronomy Engine allows *of-date*
