 A NEW FEATURE ON OUR SITE!
The rules for Timezones and Daylight Saving Time (Summer Time) are very complex. In the spring and fall, many places change their clock forward or back an hour. The rules are different in different countries, and some isolated places follow different rules than their surrounding areas.
To try to make some sense of it all, I have started building a webpage which will show you the current time anywhere in the world. It will be enhanced and beautified over time.
You can get to the page by clicking here.
I'd appreciate any feedback you may have about the page.
WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Relative Data, Inc. is a small programming and consulting firm that does custom software development and contracting in C & C++ & PHP. For information about our expertise, please click here.
We also produce astronomy software, including MyStars!, and our website hosts a dynamic community of astronomy hobbyists; from new amateur stargazers to professional astronomers and professors of astronomy.
For engineers that require solar positioning solutions for environmental issues or energy conservation, we have the algorithms you need to accurately determine the altitude and azimuth of the sun for any location, and the expertise to integrate this into your system.
