    Strange result from MICA
    From: Sean C

    All,

     

    Here is a copy of an output I just got from MICA:

     

                                         Sun                                    
        
                        Newport News, Virginia, United States                   
                   Location:  W 76°28'36.0", N37°03'18.0",    10m               
                     (Longitude referred to Greenwich meridian)

    MICA defines the "/////" symbol as meaning: "There is no event because the Sun is continually above the twilight zenith distance." Obviously this is not the case. Thoughts?
