Hello Mike!
Excuse, that I take away for you time. But for me a problem.
Let's assume, I need to find out time of a maxima of a meteor shower on
August 1 1995, 1999, 2003. It is known, that it is made through a solar
longitude, which is bound to tropical year. Through everyone 4 years the
moment of a maxima of a meteor shower happens for ~45 minutes earlier.
Why so happens? Is logical to think, that the meteoric maxima is bound
to duration of star-shaped year, but in this case it should happen for
~37 minutes later!
Tropical year: 365 day 05 h 48 m 46 s
Star-shaped year: 365 day 06 h 09 m 10 s
Solar longitude under the data IMO:
Date 02h 04h 06h
1/08/1995 128.448 128.527 128.607
1/08/1999 128.419 128.498 128.578
1/08/2003 128.398 128.478 128.558
