I need to be able to calculate the current "high noon" position of the
sun, given the date and time (GMT).

What I'd like is a formula that accepts the date and time and returns
the location on the earth (in lat/lon) that the sun is overhead. Of
course, I could also work with C source...

Please respond via email


Thanks,
