31  /** This class represents a specific instant in time.
32  
33   * <p>Instances of this class are considered to be absolute in the sense
34   * that each one represent the occurrence of some event and can be compared
35   * to other instances or located in <em>any</em> {@link TimeScale time scale}. In
36   * other words the different locations of an event with respect to two different
37   * time scales (say {@link TAIScale TAI} and {@link UTCScale UTC} for example) are
38   * simply different perspective related to a single object. Only one
39   * <code>AbsoluteDate</code> instance is needed, both representations being available
40   * from this single instance by specifying the time scales as parameter when calling
41   * the ad-hoc methods.</p>
42   *
43   * <p>Since an instance is not bound to a specific time-scale, all methods related
44   * to the location of the date within some time scale require to provide the time
45   * scale as an argument. It is therefore possible to define a date in one time scale
46   * and to use it in another one. An example of such use is to read a date from a file
47   * in UTC and write it in another file in TAI. This can be done as follows:</p>
48   * <pre>
49   *   DateTimeComponents utcComponents = readNextDate();
50   *   AbsoluteDate date = new AbsoluteDate(utcComponents, TimeScalesFactory.getUTC());
51   *   writeNextDate(date.getComponents(TimeScalesFactory.getTAI()));
52   * </pre>
53   *
54   * <p>Two complementary views are available:</p>
55   * <ul>
56   *   <li><p>location view (mainly for input/output or conversions)</p>
57   *   <p>locations represent the coordinate of one event with respect to a
58   *   {@link TimeScale time scale}. The related methods are {@link
59   *   #AbsoluteDate(DateComponents, TimeComponents, TimeScale)}, {@link
60   *   #AbsoluteDate(int, int, int, int, int, double, TimeScale)}, {@link
61   *   #AbsoluteDate(int, int, int, TimeScale)}, {@link #AbsoluteDate(Date,
62   *   TimeScale)}, {@link #parseCCSDSCalendarSegmentedTimeCode(byte, byte[])},
63   *   {@link #toDate(TimeScale)}, {@link #toString(TimeScale) toString(timeScale)},
64   *   {@link #toString()}, and {@link #timeScalesOffset}.</p>
65   *   </li>
66   *   <li><p>offset view (mainly for physical computation)</p>
67   *   <p>offsets represent either the flow of time between two events
68   *   (two instances of the class) or durations. They are counted in seconds,
69   *   are continuous and could be measured using only a virtually perfect stopwatch.
70   *   The related methods are {@link #AbsoluteDate(AbsoluteDate, double)},
71   *   {@link #parseCCSDSUnsegmentedTimeCode(byte, byte, byte[], AbsoluteDate)},
72   *   {@link #parseCCSDSDaySegmentedTimeCode(byte, byte[], DateComponents)},
73   *   {@link #durationFrom(AbsoluteDate)}, {@link #compareTo(AbsoluteDate)}, {@link #equals(Object)}
74   *   and {@link #hashCode()}.</p>
75   *   </li>
76   * </ul>
77   * <p>
78   * A few reference epochs which are commonly used in space systems have been defined. These
79   * epochs can be used as the basis for offset computation. The supported epochs are:
80   * {@link #JULIAN_EPOCH}, {@link #MODIFIED_JULIAN_EPOCH}, {@link #FIFTIES_EPOCH},
81   * {@link #CCSDS_EPOCH}, {@link #GALILEO_EPOCH}, {@link #GPS_EPOCH}, {@link #QZSS_EPOCH}
82   * {@link #J2000_EPOCH}, {@link #JAVA_EPOCH}.
83   * There are also two factory methods {@link #createJulianEpoch(double)}
84   * and {@link #createBesselianEpoch(double)} that can be used to compute other reference
85   * epochs like J1900.0 or B1950.0.
86   * In addition to these reference epochs, two other constants are defined for convenience:
87   * {@link #PAST_INFINITY} and {@link #FUTURE_INFINITY}, which can be used either as dummy
88   * dates when a date is not yet initialized, or for initialization of loops searching for
89   * a min or max date.
90   * </p>
91   * <p>
92   * Instances of the <code>AbsoluteDate</code> class are guaranteed to be immutable.
