57* Notes:
58* - DATE is the instant for which the prediction is required. It is
59* in the TT timescale (formerly Ephemeris Time, ET) and is a
60* Modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5).
61* - The longitude and latitude allow correction for geocentric
62* parallax. This is usually a small effect, but can become
63* important for near-Earth asteroids. Geocentric positions can be
64* generated by appropriate use of routines palEpv (or palEvp) and
65* palUe2pv.
66* - The "universal" elements are those which define the orbit for the
67* purposes of the method of universal variables (see reference 2).
68* They consist of the combined mass of the two bodies, an epoch,
69* and the position and velocity vectors (arbitrary reference frame)
70* at that epoch. The parameter set used here includes also various
71* quantities that can, in fact, be derived from the other
72* information. This approach is taken to avoiding unnecessary
73* computation and loss of accuracy. The supplementary quantities
74* are (i) alpha, which is proportional to the total energy of the
75* orbit, (ii) the heliocentric distance at epoch, (iii) the
76* outwards component of the velocity at the given epoch, (iv) an
77* estimate of psi, the "universal eccentric anomaly" at a given
78* date and (v) that date.
79* - The universal elements are with respect to the J2000 equator and
80* equinox.
