1 Ephemeris Longitude is the terrestrial dynamical longitude assuming a uniformly rotating Earth. 2 True Longitude is calculated by correcting the Ephemeris Longitude for the non-uniform rotation of Earth. (T.L. = E.L. + 1.002738*ΔT/240, where ΔT(in seconds) = TDT - UT) Note: Longitude is measured positive to the East. Since ΔT is not known in advance, the value used in the predictions is an extrapolation based on pre-2003 measurements. Nevertheless, the actual value is expected to fall within ±0.5seconds of the estimated ΔT used here.
