Our moons.tsv table has epoch_txt field, but these are not used to adjust M0 or orbit precessions.

The epoch texts on these are weird:
"1950 Jan. 1.00 TT"
"1997 Jan. 16.00 TT"
"2000 Jan. 1.50 TT"
"PLU042"
"PLU043"
etc... (more than a dozen different epochs)

We should create a new column and add J2000 time manually to the moons.tsv data table. Then implement internally. (A parser doesn't seem worth the effort, and won't understand "PLU42".)
