64 the right ascension (hours, minutes, seconds),
65 declination (degrees, minutes, seconds),
68 and semidiameter (arc seconds).
69 For the sun and moon, the magnitude is also printed.
70 The first line of output presents the date and time,

74 Print output in English words suitable for speech synthesizers.
77 Include a list of artificial earth satellites for interesting events.

86 is the difference between ephemeris and
87 universal time (seconds) due to the slowing of the earth's rotation.
89 is normally calculated from an empirical formula.
