search_global_solar_eclipse

Searches for the first solar eclipse visible anywhere on Earth's surface
that occurs after the given start time. A solar eclipse may be partial,
annular, or total. To find a series of eclipses, use <code>next_global_solar_eclipse</code>
with the <code>peak</code> time from the previous result.

Provides access to the 'Astronomy Engine' C library
(<https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy>) by Don Cross. The library
calculates positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets, and predicts
astronomical events such as rise/set times, lunar phases, equinoxes,
solstices, eclipses, and transits. It is based on the 'VSOP87' planetary
model and is accurate to within approximately one arcminute. This package
bundles the single-file C source so that other R packages can link against
it via 'LinkingTo' without shipping their own copy.
