v2.5.2.180
feat(calendars): Add Lunar Coordinate Time (TCL) plugin v2.5.2.180
Add new scientific calendar plugin lunar_tcl.py implementing the LTE440
Lunar Time Ephemeris for relativistic time between Earth and Moon.
Note: This is separate from the existing lunar_time.py (ESA LTC).
Features:
- Actual TCL clock time display (14:30:45 TCL)
- Shows what time a clock on the Moon would display
- Daily drift ~56.7 µs/day (Moon clock runs faster)
- Multiple display formats: Time, DateTime, Time+Drift, Drift only
- 13 periodic variations (annual ~1.65ms, monthly ~126µs)
- Full 12-language translation support
- Fixed config_flow dropdown labels with emojis
Updated ESA Lunar Time (lunar_time.py):
- Config options now show emoji labels for landing sites
- Improved dropdown descriptions
Based on:
- Paper: Lu, Yang & Xie (2025) A&A 704, A76
- DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202557345
- Data: JPL DE440 ephemeris
Implements IAU 2024 Resolution II (LCRS/TCL standard)
