This program calculates a variational orbit with elements generally improved over those used in Bryant Tuckerman's Planetary, lunar, and solar positions, 601 B.C. to A.D. 1649 (Philadelphia, 1962, 1964). All precise lunar and planetary positions and illuminations referred to in this article were calculated with “PLANETS”. The apparent positions are corrected for parallax and refraction.
