Nautical Almac Question
From: Greg R_
Date: 2006 May 31, 13:54 -0500
Can anyone tell me why some of the "Eqn. of Time" entries in the Nautical
Almanac are shaded and some are not? (A good example is the page for June
12, 13 and 14 where there's an example of both). I'm guessing that's
related to the Equation of Time reversing sign (maybe the shaded entries are
negative?), since the values seem to be decreasing up to June 13 and then
increasing).
My copy (2006 Commercial Edition) doesn't seem to have any info on that -
seems like the government version used to have a much more in-depth
explanation section on just about everything in the body of the Almanac, but
it's been years since I've seen a copy so I could be remembering wrong on
that.
