//! # Time scales and instants
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! Astronomical computations live on top of a small zoo of time scales —
//! TT (Terrestrial Time), TDB and TCB (the dynamical scales used by
//! barycentric ephemerides), TCG (geocentric coordinate time), TAI
//! (atomic time), UTC (civil time, with leap seconds), and UT1 (the
//! Earth-rotation scale). Mixing them silently produces errors of
//! seconds to tens of seconds — large enough to invalidate any
//! sub-arcsecond positional result. Following the IAU SOFA conventions
//! and the IERS Conventions (2010), every astronomical instant in this
//! crate carries its time scale at the type level so that conversions
//! between scales must be explicit.
//!
//! The reference epoch used throughout is **J2000.0 = JD 2 451 545.0
//! TT** (= 2000 January 1, 12:00:00 TT), as defined by IAU 2006
//! Resolution B1.
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! All time handling is delegated to the `tempoch` crate. This module
//! re-exports its full public surface (`Scale`, `EncodedTime`, `Time`,
//! the `TT`/`TDB`/`TCB`/`TCG`/`TAI`/`UTC`/`UT1` scale markers,
//! `Interval`, `delta_t_seconds`, …) and defines the v1 astronomy-facing
//! defaults as TT-based encoded dates plus the named same-scale helpers
//! (`to_jd`, `to_mjd`, `to_j2000_seconds`, `shifted_by`, `duration_since`)
//! provided by tempoch core:
//!
//! - [`JulianDate`] = `tempoch::JulianDate<TT>` = `EncodedTime<TT, JD>`.
//! - [`ModifiedJulianDate`] = `tempoch::ModifiedJulianDate<TT>` =
//!   `EncodedTime<TT, MJD>`.
//!
//! Advanced scale-aware work still uses `tempoch::JulianDate<S>` and
//! `tempoch::ModifiedJulianDate<S>` directly. The J2000.0 TT epoch is the
//! [`J2000`] constant (JD 2 451 545.0 TT). [`UT`] is a backward-compatible
//! alias for [`UT1`]; [`Period<T>`] is a backward-compatible alias for
//! [`Interval<T>`].
