The Shadow Knows Addendum p. 182<br />

The next step is to determine the angle of separation between the Sun site and the landing site.<br />

Because both sites are the same longitude (East), we subtract the site (23°E) from (95°E) and we get a<br />

polar separation angle of 72°. I repeated this process for the time of lift-off and found the polar angle<br />

was 58° (81 E - 23 E). In Sketch # III, we see the reason for the subtraction. In Sketch # IV when the<br />

longitudes are opposite we add the longitudes to obtain the separation angle.<br />
