Detailed Description

Julian Date / MJD / JDN helpers using the proleptic Gregorian calendar.

JD epoch used here:

• Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) is JD 2440587.5

Notes:

• JD and MJD are returned as double (jd_t/mjd_t).
• These functions are intended for utility/analytics, not for high-precision astronomy.
