%*****************************************************************************80
%
%% year_to_epact_julian() returns the epact of a Julian year.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    The epact of a year is the age in days of the notional moon on
%    the first day of the year.  If the year begins with a new moon,
%    the epact is zero.  If the new moon occurred the day before,
%    the epact is 1.  There is a unique epact for every golden number.
%
%    Bear in mind that the notional moon is not the one in the sky,
%    but a theoretical one that satisfactorily approximates the behavior
%    of the real one, but which is tame enough to be described by a formula.
%

%      1 BC     1           8
