Jupiter Central Meridian Longitudes

Script written by Brian Sherrod - ASO
Based on formula and information from
Project Pluto
Who provides probably the very best planetarium software available.

This program will calculate the longitudes for each of the three Jovian systems (I, II, & III) based on the following:

System	Rotational degrees (in decimal degrees) per day
I	877.900
II	870.270
III	870.5366420

In addition, other factors are accounted for to compensate for "light time", synodic period, speed of orbit variations during and between perihelion and aphelion.
