Moon phases are approximated with a maximum error of about 2 min;
for Sun eclypses the visibility zone is largely approximate

This perpetual calendar calculates Julian Day,
day of the week, next lunar phases and eclipses, given day, month, year;
the passage from Julian calendar to
Gregorian is fixed to Oct 4-15 1582.
You can also enter Julian Day and calculate date.
For years preceding -45 (4BC), which was Julian Calendar beginning year,
dates are computed according to a
backdated Julian calendar, not Numan Calendar (information about the latter
is really too limited).
For years between -45 (4BC) and 8AD I tried to take into account
changes of month names and lengths
and the error made by roman clergy in the compute of
leap years (every three instead of four).
