/* given the modified JD, mjd, return the true geocentric ecliptic longitude
 *   of the sun for the mean equinox of the date, *lsn, in radians, and the
 *   sun-earth distance, *rsn, in AU. (the true ecliptic latitude is never more
 *   than 1.2 arc seconds and so may be taken to be a constant 0.)
 * if the APPARENT ecliptic longitude is required, correct the longitude for
 *   nutation to the true equinox of date and for aberration (light travel time,
 *   approximately  -9.27e7/186000/(3600*24*365)*2*pi = -9.93e-5 radians).
