	Let's add astronomical Julian Dates... Where the "day" changes at
"noon" (avoids the hassle of an observation starting at 2300 <day x> and
ending at 0100 <day y) -- both times would still be in <day x>

	Of course, I'm spoiled... My /watch/ has a dial for UTC, along with one
for 24-hour indication (one hand, range 1 to 24)
