I don't think there's an easy way to do this, but it's not impossible.
Internally, pysolar uses the Julian calendar, which is good to around 4700 BC. If you could figure out the dates and times of interest in the Julian calendar, a decent Python programmer could modify Pysolar (somewhere around here: https://github.com/pingswept/pysolar/blob/master/pysolar/solar.py#L64) to read in your Julian dates instead of calculating the Julian dates using the datetime
package.
Good luck! Sounds like a cool thing to try.
Hello, I am working on an archeological project and I would like to calculate the sun's position from a specific coordinate and time. The year I would like to solve is around -4000. I installed the package but, I can't use B.C. dated with
datetime
package. Could the algorithm implemented in pysolar estimate the sun position for this case?Thanks in advance!
