Details #

time2jd(x) takes exactly one argument, unix time, and returns a Julian date as a number with decimals.

Unix time is in seconds and independent of time zone. For example time2jd(946728000) is 2451545.

Takes 1 argument. {{ time2jd(text) }}

time2jd(946728000)

→ 2451545

time2jd(value)

→ 2451545

Sample variable	Value
`value`	`946728000`

Calling it with no argument or two arguments is an error: time2jd() takes 1 argument, got 2.
Anything that isn't a number is an error: time2jd() needs a number, got text. Numeric text such as "0.5" is accepted.
If the result isn't a finite number the step stops with time2jd() has no result for that number.
