Description
Suppose a sunrise observation is made in Tokyo (latitude = 139.6500°), and sunrise is calculated as "21:47:35 GMT". Tokyo is GMT+9, so we'd say sun rises at "6:47:35". But shouldn't we use the "true" timezone of Tokyo, which would be "latitude/360*24" = 9.31 hours, yielding a sunrise at "7:6:11"? Which one is correct?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify the intended timezone semantics for sunrise results, then locate the code that converts GMT times to local time and add coverage for the Tokyo example; done means the expected interpretation is implemented and verified.
