Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the basis for the time system used in everyday life. In order to keep UTC consistent with the Earth's slightly variable rate of rotation, leap seconds are occasionally inserted into UTC. Terrestrial Time (TT) is a time system with no leap seconds. Returns double-precision Julian Dates in Terrestrial Time. The returned values are as accurate as the input, although that accuracy may be further limited by uncertainty in Delta-T. See the function DeltaT for details. For more information, see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xte/abc/time_tutorial.html and http://www.giss.nasa.gov/tools/mars24/help/algorithm.html. When JD2Marslsubs() is entered without any arguments, it prints its description, as shown below.
