SunController.subsolarPoint() method is flawed

Issue #56 resolved
Bruce Schubert created an issue
  • The internal JulianDate calculation is off by 30 and a fraction days (I suspect the Calendar.MONTH usage assumes 1 for January when in fact it is 0).
  • The adjustment for greenwhichMeanSidereal throws things off.

    Globe: Fixed SunlightController subsolarPoint calculation. Resolves #56. - Added a JRE6/7 Julian date method. Replaced subsolar point algorithm's internal JD computation with new JD method; changed computation of greenwich mean sidereal time.
