Mars24 5.5.1 description
Mars24 - Sunclock of Mars, displays orbital positions and more
Java-based application which displays a Mars "sunclock", a graphical representation of Mars showing the current sun and nightsides of Mars, along with a numerical readout of the time in a 24-hour format.
Other displays include a diagram showing the position of Sun and Earth for a given location on Mars and a plot showing the relative orbital positions of Mars and Earth.
Following the long-standing practice originally adopted in 1976 by the Viking Lander missions, the daily variation of Mars solar time is reckoned in terms of a "24-hour" clock, representing a 24-part division of the planets solar day, along with the traditional sexagesimal subdivisions of 60 minutes and 60 seconds.
A Mars solar day has a mean period of 24 hours 39 minutes 35.244 seconds, and is customarily referred to as a "sol" in order to distinguish this from the roughly 3% shorter solar day on Earth. The Mars sidereal day, as measured with respect to the fixed stars, is 24h 37m 22.663s, as compared with 23h 56m 04.0905s for Earth.
Whats New in This Release:
· User may specify an MJD when setting clock to a fixed Earth time.
· UTC to TT conversion uses leap-second table lookup where possible rather than always use parametric formula.
· Switched to ImageIO for saving PNG images to disk.
