- I am looking for an algorithm for the location of the Sun. (I know,
- it's right up there :-)). I am doing some computer graphics simulation
- type work and want to be able to simulate sunlight given a location on
- the surface of the earth and a time/date. If someone has such an
- algorithm on-line that they can send me or a pointer to a book that
- contains one I would really appreaciate the help. Thanks.
